Bets went about as badly as they could have - Anderson/White is pending but the best value one got scratched, Lennon didn't get close at all, Hempel had a shocker as well but fair play to Smith (who's Mervyn King away from actually winning a tour card, what a story that would be), then Noppert and Heta did OK but just ran out of steam from decent positions. Completely different story if Noppert could hit bull (had darts at it in two separate sets he lost), Heta just fell apart after Wright hit that 161.
One thing that needs to be said, and Ben Hudd sums it up well - if the fans are allowed in with proof of vaccination or a negative test, why not the players? One would assume MvG and VvdV have had the jabs in order to enter the country in the first place, no idea about Chisnall (and it's none of anyone's business). I really, really hope the PDC aren't doing absurd amounts of testing of players that are not ill by choice, if they are then their premier tournament being a joke is their own fault.
