🗣️ "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!
"We played pairs together years ago" - Lee Evans not daunted by prospect of facing Luke Humphries at the World Darts Championship

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."

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
