Cullen expressed his frustration towards the media for perceived disrespect, stating, 'I've been shown no respect, so I won't be showing any respect to any of you guys tonight.' His remarks referenced concerns about the treatment of fellow player Wessel Nijman, saying the media's coverage was unfair given Nijman's past issues.
Cullen remarked on his opponent's previous ban due to betting breaches, saying, 'He seems like a fantastic kid... he's served his time and he's held his hands up, like a lot haven't.' This highlights Cullen's view that the media's focus should be on players' current performances rather than past mistakes.
Ian White humorously referred to his upcoming battle with 17-year-old Luke Littler, saying, 'Yeah, Runcorn's No 2. I'm from Runcorn and I'm No 1!' He acknowledged needing to elevate his game for the next round, highlighting a light-hearted spirit before a serious competition.
White's performance was remarkable as he stated, 'I managed only two 180s, but I was pleased with my overall game' after battling back from dropping the opening set against Edhouse, showcasing the resilience required in competitive darts.
