"The underdog Justin Hood reeled off a record 11 consecutive doubles en route to a stunning 4-0 win over Josh Rock in the last 16 of the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace. The 32-year-old debutant continued his stunning run in the tournament and missed his first double when he threw for the match at 2-0 up in the fourth set."
"It's not a fairytale I know what I can do and it's nice to prove it up there. The only time I had a bit of nerves was when I was throwing the leg before [the last one]. I'm not used to this. I usually get hate messages. This is mad."
"There's a lot of things on my mind and moving to world No 4 was one of them. Every time I looked up, Andreas was hitting doubles. It was tough, I didn't play my best and had a lot of loose darts, but that's what pressure does to you."
