Smith sets up clash with De Sousa after straight sets win over dangerous debutant Evans

Ross Smith is successfully through to a second round clash with Jose de Sousa at the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship after seeing off dangerous debutant David Evans in a straight sets victory.
As is often the case, the scoreline did flatter Smith slightly with two deciders seeing him through but it was still impressive from 'Smudger' who hit a 93 average and four 180's.
He wrapped up the first set in style hitting a 112 checkout to wrap it up 3-1 with Evans not able to pin 84 when he was down to a finish first.
When they returned, the high standard continued with Evans breaking in the first leg only for Smith to reply with an 81 checkout to make it 1-1.
It remained level with Smith just doing the right things at the right moments to edge the second set and go into a 2-0 lead.
Evans went 2-1 up in the next set but missed a bull for a 94 checkout and a set win and Smith pounced with a double 18 to send it all the way.
But Evans couldn't take out 25 and Smith returned second dart in hand to move through.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
