Williams discusses first year on PDC Tour: "As I was getting into it, I was beating Van Gerwen on the ProTour"

Lewy Williams will make his European Championship debut this evening when he faces Jose de Sousa in the opening round in Salzburg with giant killing on the mind for the young Welshman.
But Williams who has made superb strides in his first year in the PDC admitted his expectations were low until a win over a certain former World Number One.
"When I first got on the tour, I didn't know what to expect so I didn't really have too many ambitions at the start, I just thought go out and enjoy it. Enjoy the darts, you've done the hard work, you've made it onto the tour so just enjoy it and not put too much pressure on myself," he said on The Darts Show podcast.
"But then as I was getting into it, I was beating Michael van Gerwen on the first day of the ProTour. I thought alright, here we go then. Then I just tried to qualify for as many TV tournaments or Euro Tours etc.
"Like I said already in my first year, I've qualified for the European Championship, done well on my first Euro Tour in Budapest, touching the World Championships so fingers crossed it's all going very well so hopefully a few more TV events to come as well."

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
