"Sometimes it will be pretty, sometimes not. The big factor was I held myself together at the right times. I'm really glad to get through. I'm one step closer. I've not played my best. I've been clinical in the important moments, but I've not hit the heights I wanted to hit."
"There's no shackles, no worries. He's fantastic. From a lovely family and a lovely boy. But the pressure isn't on me. What does it matter? If Rob Cross loses to Luke Littler, who cares? Hopefully I can take the shackles off and get a good tune out of myself."
Rob Cross defeated Damon Heta 4-0, losing only two legs and reaching the PDC World Championship fourth round. Cross averaged 94.11 and converted 46% of his checkouts while Heta hit just 31.6% of his doubles and squandered several chances. Cross has dropped only one set in the tournament and will face reigning champion Luke Littler in the last 16. Gary Anderson reached the last 16 by beating Jermaine Wattimena 4-3, surviving a deciding set in which he missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish. Anderson hit 14 maximums and averaged 102.24.
