sport">Anderson went opposite Sky Sports completely loose about Suljovic’s attitude and play, which was very high for him. “If it continues like this in the future, then I will be completely done with darts,” fulminated The Flying Scotsman, who became world champion in 2015 and 2016.
Small tables
sport">From the start of his match against Suljovic, it was clearly noticeable that Anderson was not in a mood on stage. “It already started with the distribution of the tables,” said the 50-year-old Scot. “I did not get to the table that was assigned to me prior to the match. But in the end I tried to ignore that. ”
sport">Anderson seemed a bit disoriented as Suljovic messed up the ‘table layout’. “Mensur just stopped there, so I had to take a completely different walking route to get to my table. I was completely off track after the first set. ”

‘Ridiculous’
sport">Whether this incidental influence on the game of both players is a guess, but the fact is that the first four sets each resulted in a break. Suljovic seemed to make a sport of finishing his turn as slowly as possible. “How he did that was horrible. Really ridiculous how much time he took for that, ”said Anderson. “This is really one of the reasons why I enjoy the sport less and less.”
sport">However, after falling 3-2 in the fifth set, Anderson did win the last two sets and secured a ticket to the last sixteen, where he meets the winner of the game between Jason Lowe and Devon Petersen. “But if it continues like this, I will be done with the sport. Then I’ll go golf or something. I don’t want to experience this anymore. I think almost all viewers have zipped away during the game. In any case, I would have done that. ”
