haa wants against everyone talking about just this is right up his street isn’t it well we’ve seen already Yes Luke ller averaging over 100 in all three of his matches but Damon hetto as you mentioned Stuart has had to be resilient 100 particularly against Nathan aspinal and Jan van vain was well behind in both of those but came through 125 he’s going to have to show that determination but also some extra quality well he actually was was 87 down to Whitlock and one 84 down to aspal and one 73 down to Van Vay and one tops 86 started well but heta is’s going to be leaving something pretty handy here TR 19 surely 177 require 20 game Shan the first l l that real pressure from David H he himself had left 24 out 12 didn’t get a shot at it but heta will be for me will be Little’s biggest test we shall see his last two visits a 177 and a 180 what a start here what a start back comes lit 18 a amazing darts on both players here what a start 96 the master of his trade Luke ller and he’s on a nine daa in the quarterfinals of the UK open a little r smile from the young man he’s walking around the back comes Davon Hatter 140 he’s walking around as if he’s going shopping here we go 47 31 made a right when you require 85 wor three darts he thrown all weekend going to go the ball route oh is it the trouble that’s double nine 76 unlucky LCA requir 116 needs that treble now these tops 96 Damon you requir a big chance and a big let off gain sh on the second leg Damon heto Third Leg it’s luk to throw first L will feel that he should have won that leg after six perfect darts but it was the previous visit that cost him 56 he was on 147 for the nine and hit 31 yeah certainly after the first two visits I suppose when you when you’ve missed a nine it just takes your concentration and focus away 81 but well done to Damon het he’d already had a doubt at the Double came back and got it 140 before this match ller surprisingly hitting only seven 18s in the entire tournament heta here just hit another one that’s his 18th of the tournament it’s David heter who’s asking all the questions with Luke ly you mentioned the 180s there he tends to spread himself around the board a lot doesn’t he he’s always moving around the trouble 19 and trouble 18 95 L require 167 fabulous stuff Hatter 114 average ller 116 1398 average for ller he going to get a shot at dou 14 but he better get it 29 otherwise will game sh the third what a game of D what a match this is to throw first Sensational Sunday afternoon fair at the UK open and here he goes again 31 18s a 177 we’ have two 18s and a 174 from ller 14 the scoring in this game is out of this world it really is heta magnificent he’s in again 140 I think heta being inspired by ller and vice versa I did say right at the start that for me this would be toughest test of Luke ller aie loves a scrap on a sporting stage and Dam hat is no exception 83 lose one with the last one but still in a good position 118 dazzling D requ 98 for an 11 data game sh the fourth neither of them are put it’s Luke a thr this believe you me is as good as it gets 120 average against ller who’s averaging 120 also 120 each and we’re in leg five this is as good as it gets as het is in again outstanding from the [Applause] Aussie this is pretty good too unbelievable 140 they are both feeding off each other here 137 sport at its very best 145 Luke required 44 incredible tops game goes 32 up averaging 119 he’s not winning this game I can’t believe what I’m watching Magnificent Seven Minutes of your mentions to 243 combined average but Damon heta against the darts has left a double after 12 12 and n and not got a shot 92 128 the hatter average is it a maximum in every single leg if you count the 177 in the first Y correct 180 177 180 180 180 180 40 everyone just coming up for breath after that break I think our MC to dust his tonsils down 171 127 got to keep mention it worth mentioning 180 D when you require 91 918 and we’re only in leg six tops game Sean the SE play Damon hetter seventh leg it’s l this is the best I’ve seen Damon hetter play he’s having to and he’s having to luk this is astonishing can we play best of 10 101 this is oh I just don’t want to finish seven minutes for those five legs [Music] 134 normally when you get a game like this a crowd are tune but they just sat there in disbelief 57 so are we I’ve not even had time to fall off my chair 147 and now after all that Luke ller is on a 10 data as he averages 121 as his opponent is 121 a piece luk required 40 in leg seven Lou Li a it’s D to throw first well I have been in this game for over 30 years and I have never seen darts like this from both players heta magnificent ller magnificent 58 111 180s a 177 a 174 a 17137 Damon het’s average is 125 Luke M disappointing only 118 58 oh wow blimy O’Reilly if this can carry on bit of a slip here from D when you look at he scores all the way through this match and I think they’re both enjoying it as well feeding off each other can’t enjoy this what’s the point of playing the sport who will blink first cuz someone has to [Music] 98 wow well they can’t leave it finish anyway so it’s down to to level at four a piece up to now his doubles have been pretty good he’s making it hard for himself split this got to bust the score had to bust it little away back no point in mucking around on double two and double one forget about the mental averages it’s all about winning the leg 100 Damon you require Eight Second visit for double four game sha the eigh leg in the end D ninth leg it’s Luke to throw first eight legs 60 W this is the first time that ller has started a leg on his own throw poorly Hessa cashing in 100 eight legs all one on the Thro it’s who can maintain it Stewart isn’t it I mean this level he just outstanding they can’t maintain 120 on averages over 19 legs 13 can but you would say it’s very unlikely but haa making his move on the little throw 92 Under Pressure here heta has stolen the darts he’s in again looking for the 140 which he gets Damon hat has never played as well in his entire career it’s a bold statement but I believe it to be true in such 97 circumstan 124 in a major tournament never not arguing with you at all don’t think anybody could is it the 11 to break the throw 102 to break the spell 155 well he’s capable isn’t he a no surely not surely not surely not 17 Damon you required 22 big moments big moments and he gets it David he’s loving it up [Applause] there 10 get Damon to throw first game on ller blinks first but can heta maintain this standard that’s the big question 100 he look he just looks in the zone he’s focused he’s he just looks his mind set is is like that back comes ler with a six we’ve had 12 18s you’re enjoying this at home this is brilliant the cow I just transfixed with with respect that’s a silly question I hope you’re enjoy that at home unbelievable can it carry on het it cannot miss 140 the pace is amazing 100 Damon you require 121 big moments here before the second break hea looking for a big finish on double 14 got to go course it goes course it goes this is the best he’s played in his life in his life up against it what leak ller can do well when you see games of this standard and L’s in again already when you see games of this standard breaks of fow don’t come across that often he’s got that one break break can he hold on to 134 both players straight from the second break straight into the big scoring already 100 now witnessing one of the greatest games certainly for some time certainly at this tournament 97 what will the next well the way it’s been go in only 10 or 15 minutes one Session 8 and a half it’s rapid the 22nd UK open going all the way back to Bolton in 2003 100 LCA 161 decided against it with h 12 the big F gambling that can’t do this he’s thrown down the ultimate Challenge to David he he’s thrown the challenge down 45 and an a he loves the challenge my wow well if he’d have hit that I think the roof would have come off in this Auditorium Little’s got to focus [Applause] here 20 there you go Damon you require 25 who has blinked first the answer is Luke ller game shot the 11 play B on the spin for Damon H it’s astonishing to it’s Damon to throw first game on he is loving it can he maintain this standard 60 that’s the first time that ller has really made an error when he lost his throw nine he nearly rescued it with a brilliant 155 finish but three clean darts at tops 140 hav taken the the decision not to go for the big finish and I think that the near Miss from heter on the 170 fsy too rattled him a bit I noticed as well when he was going for that double top after head and missed the 170 he did take a little bit 58 more extra time when you think of the pace of the game so far well Hat’s open the door here 57 the ller isn’t walking through it 96 may only need one treble L needs a couple more than that downstairs 96 require 147 93 167 little needs two and the bull 123 Dam you require 54 small margins D small margins game Shan the 12th leg Damon hter 13th it’s luk to throw first the best he’s ever played in a TV tournament if he does win this Damon H can he maintain it on Sunday night he’s two legs away from an astonishing win after an astonishing performance he’s not letting up at all oh oh one another minute it might go in the board that was amazing 95 trick shot of the weekend 100 worth mentioning because we haven’t for a while H are averaging 111 a half now Luke ller after he hits another 180 aaging 110 8 18s for ller that St 123 irrelevant at the moment CU it’s 84 to heta 13 L ller 14 it’s ston to throw first yeah that leg 11 three clean up3 tops of double 10 and now maybe a chance here again for ller he’s got to get the scoring though again fails to take it yes that was a big chance heta isn’t doing it that often 100 the low scoring is 56 two visits without a big trouble but your opponent has started poorly as well B players struggling to hit the trouble in this leg it’s a crucial leg cuz he puts Damon het one leg away 86 300 a piece what a fabulous watch this has been decided to stay upstairs and again both players just struggling a little bit in this leg great adjustment 140 fabulous the way you moved over 60 luk require 160 to break the throw for the first time he’s not broken the hat to throw 92 this is almost that leg where just drag yourself over the line from whichever play can take it C’s worst leg with the throw by a long way 60 L8 got to go game shot the 14th not over yet then five legs on the spin for Davon Hesser to take control the backto back legs for Luke the nuke and he’s got to carry it on throw the last one was a save there the scoring has been outstanding as we’ve seen through the match but that last leg both players just struggled a little bit to hit the big trebles both players feeling the tension we mentioned about continuing this quality all the way through the match is this the point where heter dips he has been unbelievable up until that last leg 119 just finding the range a bit but so is Luke 140 seems to have found his scoring boots again but heta with two trible 19s he certainly got his confidence back0 a bit of extra value not on a finish but be happy with that 180 there keeps the pressure on 58 but again the big shot from heta having the design effect has to go down 127 LC require 12 307 with six darts and ller needs the ball and he has to get it 97 wow Dam you’re requ from nowhere here Hatter game sh the 50 play with seven perfect DS and now he’s throwing for a place in the semi-finals 6 play get he hasn’t played better than this ever that last leg not the one he’s just won there when he couldn’t hit a treble and it looked like Luke little was coming back at him he stopped the maximum scoring but that two trouble 19s and then the maximum and then that amazing setup that’s brilliant from Damon heta he has played magnificent all the way through this match 96 still some work to do you can see the finishing pul he’s got to drag himself through it 100 139 if he wins this the big question can he maintain it at the moment he just focused on scoring 162 points6 quickly as possible brilliant it’s all about this visit isn’t it what can he leave staying there 140 Luke require 143 don’t blame him he thought it was in 83 thought it was in D you required 22 for the match and one of the best wins of his life 14 attention LCA requires 60 both players are feeling it game sh the to David Hatter ller plays get out of jail frean in this incredible quarterfinal still work for haa to do and how much will those misses pre on his [Applause] mind what [Music] 140 40 minutes of fabulous sporting entertainment 68 and we ain’t finished yet well let’s be honest let’s just be brutally honest here and now we wanton a last leg deider don’t we don’t think D doesn’t [Applause] wow unbelievable 140 he’s left to finish should stay there6 too big things offer one to save it one to win it and another 84 that a loose last one D 157 what a way this would be to win not to be but he will be leaving something pretty decent 93 L to require 80 get another one back one dart at Double 10 G he’s from the l two on double 10 now without a shadow of a doubt the Heat is on the heat is is he going to respond of course he is 140 well he will be over the moon with that start on throw it’s going to make Luke liter do all the work 13 what is going to happen fantastic ah unbelievable [Music] [Applause] 99 you feel that l play is going to have to have a
