GARY ANDERSON overcame “terrible” nerves to begin the defence of his William Hill World Darts title in style at the Ally Pally tonight.

Scotsman Anderson beat Andy Boulton 3-0 and he started like he had finished back in January when he lifted the crown.

GOOD AIM: Gary Anderson in action

Then he smashed in an amazing 19 180s as he beat Phil Taylor 7-6 and he began with a maximum this evening.

You would never have known he was suffering and he said afterwards: “I always get nervous, every round is the same, but tonight was terrible. I made it so much harder. I can have a nice Christmas now.”

After the holiday break, Anderson will meet Northern Ireland’s Daryl Gurney who knocked out Jamie Lewis 3-1.
The defending champion could not have asked for a better performance.

It was Boulton’s second game of the night after he had beaten Denmark’s Per Laursen 2-1 in a prelim in the first match of the championship to set up this clash.

Anderson’s fine start saw him win the first two sets 3-0 before Boulton responded in the third.

But Anderson had too much, winning it 3-2 on a checkout of 62, and ending with an average of 99.55.
