TWO-TIME WINNER GARY Anderson endured a 54th birthday to forget as he crashed out of the World Championship following a shock second-round defeat to Jeffrey de Graaf.
“I was very nervous after the first set and even when I was 2-0 up I was thinking to myself, ‘What’s going on now?’ The 2022 Masters champion, who will face 2021 winner Gerwyn Price next, gave short answers during a tetchy on-stage interview. The 54-year-old set up a showdown with teenage sensation Littler thanks to a 3-1 win over the European champion.
“Luke Littler’s done everything for this sport at the moment over the last two years, so bring it on.” Filipino qualifier Paolo Nebrida secured the biggest win of his career by stunning former European champion and 19th seed Smith 3-0 to set up a meeting with De Graaf, while Dutch 25th seed Van Duijvenbode was defeated 3-1 by Latvian Madars Razma.
