In a list compiled by the PDC, we take a look back at the 2019 PDC World Championship and the top five moments from the event.
5. Ashton produces on Ally Pally debut
Lisa Ashton made her debut at the PDC World Championship last year and produced from the get go taking the opening set averaging 106 against Jan Dekker and despite the latter coming back with a strong display to win 3-1
It was Ashton that gained the plaudits that night at the Alexandra Palace. Can Fallon Sherrock or Mikuru Suzuki do the same this time around?
4. Alcinas stuns Wright in excellent performance
Toni Alcinas stunned Peter Wright with a 3-1 victory to knock out the World Number Three out in the first round and as a result, the Spanish ace reached the third round of the event for the second consecutive year and sent one of the favourites packing.
3. Aspinall produces career starting run to the semi's
Nathan Aspinall was very much unfancied on his debut at the Palace but produced an excellent run to the semi-finals to shock many people from pundits to players as he defeated Gerwyn Price, Kyle Anderson, Devon Petersen and Brendan Dolan.
Since then he has won the UK Open and US Darts Masters; as he proved it to be a career defining moment.
2. Humphries ends Cross' reign as World Champion
Similarly to Nathan Aspinall, Luke Humphries came from nowhere to reach the Quarter-Finals and in the process knock out defending champion Rob Cross in just his second World Championship.
He came from two sets behind to send Cross crashing out on what was a brilliant night at the Alexandra Palace and put the Newbury ace firmly on the map.
1. Van Gerwen becomes three-time World Champion
Michael van Gerwen went among the history makers by becoming a three-time World Champion with a 7-3 victory over Michael Smith.
Mighty Mike opened up a four-set lead at 4-0 and 6-2 and from there despite Smith making a small comeback, it was too little too late.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
