Turner on Lewis-Price Czech Darts Open incident: "Let's be honest, I think Adrian knows how to push players' buttons"

Adrian Lewis and Gerwyn Price were the talk of the darting world this past weekend at the Czech Darts Open when they had to be separated on stage following their match.

Sky Sports' commentator and pundit, Laura Turner weighed in on the incident and said that it's always going to happen in high pressure environments but that it sums up Adrian Lewis as a player to push buttons.

"There is sometimes a bit of needle of the oche, but it's just that natural reaction because Gerwyn is not happy he lost.

"These things happen. I'm sure off the oche in time it will be fine, but when you're up there in a high-pressure situation and you want to win, tempers can get flared.

"These are sportsmen at the end of the day and they're there to do a job. Sometimes when it doesn't go your way that natural reaction comes out and it's not always the best one to see as a viewer.

"You're going to get that level of focus and aggression on the oche and sometimes it just spills over. It happens in every sport really, doesn't it? But when it happens in darts, it is just you.

"When it's going well it's a brilliant place to be, but when it's not going so well it can be rather lonely."

"That's totally Adrian Lewis, isn't it? Let's be honest. I think he knows how to push players' buttons, but that's all part of the sport and it's for every player to deal with those situations."
