UK Open
with his only leg of the encounter.
An impressive Lewis then reeled off nine legs in a row, landing six 180s
and three 177s on his way to a clinical and highly one sided victory.
“I’m so happy right now and it means a lot to me to win this,” said
Lewis. “It’s my first major of the year but I feel like I can go on to win
a lot more now.”
“This is the first time I’ve
got past the quarterfinals in this tournament,
so to go on and win it is a
massive achievement for
me.”

“It’s been a really
tough weekend but I’ve
dug in deep and took
my chances, and I’m
delighted with how I
played in the final. I’ve
been playing like that in
the floor tournaments in
the last few months and I wanted to take it onto the stage.”
“Terry’s been playing some awesome darts too and he’s taken the form
of the last few months into this final, and I had to hit him straight away
and I knew I’d have to play that well - but if he keeps this going he
could win a major this year.”
“Adrian was brilliant there in the final and he never gave me a chance,”
admitted Jenkins, who also qualifies for November’s Grand Slam of
Darts by reaching the decider.”
“He was relentless and he whacked everything in there, and I couldn’t
keep up with him.”
“I was leaving a double after 12 darts in some legs and not getting
a look-in! Fair play to him because he deserved the title with a
performance like that, but I’m proud of what I’ve done this weekend
to reach the final.”
“I’ve been playing well for the last few months and the small changes
I’ve made to my darts are paying off.”
“I hope I can win a major title eventually - I’d always said I’d retire
when I got to 50 and that would have been six months ago, so this is a
bonus! I’ll always keep plugging away and hopefully it will happen for
me next time.”
“I’m so happy right
now and it means
a lot to me to win
this. It’s my first
major of the year
but I feel like I can
go on to win a lot
more now”
