[Music] first game his first year in Bahrain Michael vano didn’t play the inaugural event last year he wants to get his hands on the trophy but Luke ller the 16year old is going to try and stop him he’s going to be celebrating his 17th birthday in a couple of days Luke ller will he be doing it as winner of a senior PDC event was quite a business like handshake from mvg at the start start of the game get the feeling with all the hype around Luke ller that Michael vanwin might want to put him in his place tonight and just say look you’re good you got players like me in front of you but little has already taken one record off vano tonight the youngest player ever to hit a PDC TV n data is he about to go home with the spoils from Bahrain 134 not the authoritative start that Mighty Mike would have [Music] liked 56 not exactly the setup shot that ller wanted but it looks like he’s got a bit of time looks can be [Applause] [Music] deceiving 78 for the opening leg there’s the treble now he needs Double 12 doesn’t get it will get a look at 148 already hit four t plus outs in the tournament but he won’t be adding to that number just yet 56 double six dou three is found Luke ller takes the opening leg of the final first to eight legs in the final remember the slightly extended format was Tak taken all the way and pushed all the way by Michael Smith the defending Champion as he was 68 yeah we’ve kind of seen all facets of the game displayed by mvg so far this weekend his scoring was unbelievable in the opening round in seeing off Hassan his finishing against Rob cross was practically Flawless and then against Michael Smith while he missed a whole load of d when it really mattered the important shot took out 110 to win the match with Smith breathing down his neck I think Michael Smith thought he was going to get the opportunity to win it but he didn’t van go in through to yet another final 24th in all in the world series of [Music] darts he’s not got going here Michael vanwin we’re leg a half into this and he is very much second best looking for the 170 that would have left top 65 for a break he’s had himself a bit of a day hasn’t he L little nine dter earlier on against Nathan aspal the big fish now he’s hoping to take out the trophy but that was not a great first start big four so 11 will leave him a shot the ball’s eye and this time he can’t take it out M require 94 D Miss for breaker throw and a two-nil lead and double double and couldn’t find the 19s 78 does rather frustratingly VG’s perspective find the treble bends the wire and does not use the marker M requires 16 well that was as close as you can come and it’s on the second but that is right in the heart of the double and it is 1-1 a leg that ler looked destined to win but miss starts at it and we one one on [Music] [Music] throw 96 van Goan is taken an almost sadistic Delight in putting challenges in their place over the years as they’ve come for his Crow and I’m sure he would love to do the same here but Luke ller is playing darts of a caliber that may take it out of his hands I think this is a rivalry that is going to become very very big oh over the next few [Applause] [Music] years4 little bandwagon rolls on here in Bahrain nice visit vanu but even despite that he’s not on a finish so R7 no need to go 20 and ball so went to the 10 just set the shot up and if you you’ve got enough time to do that sort of thing against Michael Van go and things are going all right 134 40 go in tops [Applause] then [Applause] G [Music] oh3 90 what does make him feel nervous we’ve not seen any trace of it in the world championship the first crack at Michael Van his first ever World Series event it’s just going about his business that’s the thing I think that surprised everybody we all heard how good he was he’s shown us how good he is but the fact he just continues seemingly to get better and better on the big stage looks more and more comfortable really makes a mockery of his age doesn’t it how he’s conducted himself and how he’s played just wonder what the feeling amongst all the other elite players this is the Premier League lineup from the PDC Stars what are they feeling this kid has just walked in and is just hammering them 45 he’s been very good throughout he had a one of the toughest tests in round one against manock long and he took care of business there 434 good down to a finish but L will get a look at 129 and that 129 is on and it is very much on now just couldn’t get the second double but a sign of the confidence that he took it on this isn’t a gimme he’ll only get one dot it’s tops and it’s found and there’s the Roar for Michael vanoy he is going to let Luke ller know whom he is facing tonight [Music] we saw burst in his game against go price just before the break when he took the game away from price can he provide a similar burst now or is it Vann that’s supplying the heavy scoring well with four legs into this Michael Van go two out of two on the doubles Luke L’s had DS to win every single leg of this he could be 40 up in the final and halfway to the ti some pressure coming here though from [Applause] vanu [Music] 58 snatch of the darts from ller 42 will be disappointed with that he’s on a finish but he would have wanted to be significantly lower oh 180 could it be [Applause] oh no well T 40 gets him to a finish or 180 gets him to a really good one but the bounce out costs him it allows van go in two visits from here 56 I need them he will need them ller now can only hope to put some more pressure on and now ironic he hits the two well look at that he takes out the 160 he would have needed if he got the single 20 on the leg on the throw before again this is not an easy finish he going double double again and it does not work again so and lot ller was in trouble in this leg vano has not punished him hug stes the double 10 down as he goes to collect the and he’s got a businesslike look about him as well on throw 32 but vano in pressured but couldn’t close out the [Applause] leg [Applause] [Music] 14 that’s more like it from nvg maximums in two legs running and yet that’s a second Max from ller and vano must be feeling the pressure here even when Rob cross was constantly nipping his heels in a brilliant game in the quarterfinals he was not putting the pressure that Luke L’s putting on him here it’s largely down to vanu and being below par 48 might 99 yeah average of 92 will he go tops tops he does there’s one of them can’t follow the second one so ller here who’s already taken out seven t plus finishes in this tournament he can’t get this one this time it’ll be Bango coming back for the double 10 and for parity in the match double five it is there six legs in all going with throw but Luke ller the aggressor for most of this final so far final leg before the interval what a way to start it from [Applause] ller [Music] [Applause] 46 just the four perfect DS to start this leg before we all got very excited about a potential second n daa of the night 54 Fe the feeling backstage when he hit the six perfect darts after the nine D he thought he was going to do it then as well you’re almost expect it look at this for a leg possible Le D the whole throat Michael Vann is Miles Away 9 L no two ways about it in this final Luke ller is the better player and he is a better player than Michael vano right now the 16-year-old leads 43 display of the event so far but there is time for this to change it has to change for the Dutchman because you don’t really see Luke ller relenting well seven holds of throw thus far and you’d have to say it’s been ller who’s been causing more problems against the throw hasn’t yet managed to break it but the way he’s going at the moment you wouldn’t rule it out and this could be an opportunity here if he can get a big visit well in terms of darts at Double in this match Michael vanen has been restricted to just five darts at Double in the opening seven legs luk Litt had more than twice that number and that darts to win far more legs over the course of this match 4 great last start there vanin on his own throw is finding himself chasing and this is a genuine chance from here on in for ller to get the break 60 goes to the bullseye there probably doesn’t get that much benefit but having covered the trouble 20 he wanted to find a new Target 86 could be an important last start for Michael vanen to leave a Shanghai finish yeah will he get a go at it he’s gone the 18s route and couldn’t get the treble so van will get a look this is a whole throw as well needs a treble does not get it liter smells blood for a break and a two-leg lead there is no roughl in this l completely in control look at this for a start to the leg after the break Michael Vann got to get his skates on here three tplus averages in his previous three games he’s way below that here and he is struggling and luk ller he just three legs away from victory well if they weren’t talking about this kid before Dan they are now his reputation is growing with every single throw of the D justifiably so brilliant visit from mvg ller doesn’t hit back quite in the fashion he would have wanted oh is this a surge is this a fight back from Michael Van going a third Max mention he was pushed all the way by Smith he found the answers in the semifinal can he find them here as it tops tops again it is there’s one and there’s the other what an end to that leg and a break straight back that’s what Michael vaning can do and that’s a message to the youngster this final is far from over he has been attempting those double double finishes all the way through this game he finally gets one right when time was running out for him [Music] 434 it’s been a tremendous two days of Dart saw some great games last night we all two of the Asian tour players had darts to beat PDC Superstars but couldn’t quite get it done then tonight we’ve had some fantastic performance es this final is bubbling along nicely 57 go only 60 in front here though 41 great cover shooting from the man in green was in the green there has a little look I thought he might just go for the 180 to leave an awkward double but just try and get some noise in the room to distract mvg the need distracting can’t take out the 113 and luk ller to break double four two darts missed by the nuke and go to level up he’s looking at tops he wasn’t sure if that was in or not double 10 the new Target and double 10 is missed badly inside so liter with a chance to break again double [Applause] four 6’4 more misses from luk L and van go and he’s being let off the hook [Music] here we are Level might not have been pretty at the end but vano got the result he needed so now best of five for the [Music] title he’s had nearly twice the number of darts at Double at Michael vanwin has had in this final but he hasn’t been able to take enough chances to have any kind of cushion he still has the advantage Luke ller here [Music] 58 slender though isn’t it saw ear on Michael vanwin excellent game with Rob cross [Music] 439 it’s right till the end for it to be decided is this one going to be going all the way here 167 got back on level terms but unable to keep Pace with ller who makes it sensible play didn’t entertain treble 19 and Bullseye just wanted to take as big a chunk out of that as possible well he needed that last start but that might not be enough 70 then to go back in front 20 for Tops doesn’t get it so van go gets a look at 139 very difficult shot too difficult for mvg in the end he leaves himself on top but Luke ller adors double [Applause] 10 no problem at all 6 five two more legs required [Applause] Michael vano managed to level up but finds himself once again in her and that is not the start he needed here and a little pounce upon it 92 not bad 58 Luke L is has beaten one of the most promising stars from Asia the reigning match play champion of world number four former world champion of world number five and is now potentially closing in on a victory against the great Michael [Applause] Vann in his first World Series event only a third senior PDC event people wondered how he would react to that loss in the final to Luke humph at the Alandra Palace well he’s made it backto back finals is he going to get his hands on the trophy here van Gerwin got to be tidy here5 [Music] [Applause] 129 the 19’s first he’s hit the treble couldn’t get the double double this time unless vano can raise the roof Ro here well they might be raising the roof can’t hit the treble 20 so L for a break and to move within one H [Applause] [Music] stops three more misses and L snatches the dots out the board shaking his head he just can’t put this game to bed van go in 20 segment leaves double five and 84 wow that was close ller will have to tidy up 19 for double 10 double 10 is hit a nod of the head a shake of the head from Van Goen and Luke ller now is throwing for his first senior PDC title and he’s in the red bit and Ops up with a 130 this might be happening we have been watching the emergence of one of the most captivating stories in the world of sport Not Just Darts Michael vano and the three-time world champion is digging in trying to stop Luke ller from picking up a first senior title in PDC darts but even mvg might find it too tough attask tonight oh look what he’s left he’s already dispatch this tonight 59 you can’t do it again [Applause] can no he can’t but if he can pick up a treble he doesn’t it is still a makeable outshot but there is hope for vanin needs trebles doesn’t fine one so luk ller for a moment of darting history he’s looking at 112 doesn’t get the treble he’ll have to wait a little bit longer Bango to save himself needs 144 it needed to be perfect and isn’t and Luke ller is going to get Championship dot the 16y old to complete a sensational tournament a sensational story it is a inw in the desert for Luke ller the nuke has beaten them all he is the bin D Master at the very first time of trying
