Sky Sports Darts analyst Wayne Mardle was thoroughly entertained by the behind-the-scenes drama.
He pointed out: “Look at how smooth those darts are. Just watch. The fluency, without jerking or body throwing—nothing at all.”
Mardle laughed, “In eight weeks, he hasn’t thrown this well.
“Honestly, in that practice room, you’re simply throwing; there are no concerns or pressures—just throwing.
“And there you go, that’s the 57… eyyy!
“Milk it, Stephen, milk it. In practice rooms, they frequently get hit by the players, but it’s all in the mind.”
Luke Littler faced an unexpected quarter-final loss, falling 6-2 to Chris Dobey.
Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen withdrew from the event at the last minute due to a shoulder injury.
