A PDC World Championship that looks a lot different to usual has reached the midway stage as players break for Christmas.
Before play resumes on December 27, the PA news agency takes a look at what we have learned so far from the action at the Alexandra Palace.
Baggish steals the show in sad circumstances
Behind closed doors
So sorry to my fans and sponsor @TargetDarts, well done to Danny, but for me it just didn’t feel like the world championships, without the fans it just wasn’t the worlds for me and I couldn’t get the adrenaline going

A tournament best known for its raucous crowds and party atmosphere has looked and sounded very different amid the pandemic. When it began on December 15 London was still in Tier 2 of the restrictions, allowing a small number of fans in but with fancy dressed and chanting banned. The subsequent move to far stricter restrictions has seen the event played out behind closed doors, and Lewis blamed the lack of crowd for his defeat to Baggish.
