It was not for the faint of heart. Suljovic and Anderson, two-time world champions, fought a duel that was more tense than high-level.
Time and time again, both players missed good chances and made numerous missed shots. Suljovic’s slow play made Anderson visibly nervous as the Scotsman lost the lead.
The number 20 in the world. Suljovic turned the game around and was already leading 3-2 in sets before Anderson regained his composure and struck back decisively.
Against Anderson he continued a negative streak, for “The Gentle” it was already the fifth loss in direct duel. After all, Suljovic came one round past 2019, when the finale against Fallon Sherrock was in the second round. As a consolation, he takes home £ 25,000 (€ 27,427) in prizes.
“This year was very hard for me. There was the coronavirus and some problems in my family. My family always takes priority over darts. I missed a lot of tournaments and hope that next year I can only focus on darts and improve in 2021, ”said Suljovic.
