Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen He had snatched the world title in 2015 and 2016 - but this time it was already over in round two. Gary Anderson, who was even considered by some to be the secret favorite for the title, was surprisingly beaten 0:3 by Sweden's Jeffrey de Graaf.
The world number 14 only won three legs - a heavy defeat. While Anderson struggled with his double rate (only 15 percent) on his 54th birthday, his opponent, the world number 81, played great.
"My best year ever"
"Gary didn't play like he usually does today. I got very nervous after the first set and when I was leading 2:0, I thought: 'What's going on here now? But I'm very happy that I pulled it off," said a jubilant De Graaf on Sky Sports. "This is definitely my best year ever. It can go on like this!"
