🗣️ "I know his game very well!" Hear from Lee Evans as he looks ahead to a tough clash with his former pairs partner Luke Humphries tomorrow night!

Lee Evans made a perfect start to his debut PDC World Darts Championship campaign. The Englishman was a comfortable 3-0 winner over his opponent, Sandro Eric Sosing.
"It was just one of those games where I felt really comfortable, really steady. I felt that even if he did come back and start playing well against me, I could have got back on top again," Evans recaps in his post-match press conference. "After the first set I just felt really comfortable so I'm happy to get over the line and I look forward to tomorrow now."
His first appearance on the iconic Ally Pally stage, Evans showed no signs of feeling the pressure. "If I missed a match dart or something I might have started feeling the nerves but it doesn't feel any different to anything else because I don't really feel the nerves," he explains. "I think the European Tour was a massive plus for today. If that was my first time, maybe it would have been a totally different game. Maybe more nerves would have set in."
In round 2, Evans will face the pre-tournament favourite, Luke Humphries. A daunting prospect no doubt, but for Evans the tie can be seen as a meeting with an old friend. "What a draw," Evans smiles. "Good job I know him well. I know his game, he knows me, we played pairs together years ago. I've got to play my best game I know that and he maybe needs to come down a step because he's beating everyone at the moment but I'm looking forward to that. It's a free shot."

- 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
