At this point it straight up brings me joy seeing Menzies get smoked like that. ([maybe unpopular] Rant)
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy theatrics and drama in darts. It's one of the reasons I watch it. I respect the player, I respect the talent, but I can't stand the exaggerated reactions and disturbances to the other player. You have people like MvG and Price, they hit their stuff, do the fist in the air and then go back to their place. It seems like with Menzies, every other visit is an opera performance. What does he have to gain in having the crowd pity you? There's Humphries, you can see when he's having a bad night, he'll sigh, tilt his head down, but he picks up his darts and moves on. Am I being too harsh specifically on Menzies? IDK, you tell me. Is there a player who's theatrics you just can't stand? I love MvG for example but I know so many people who hate his cocky attitude (especially these days where he doesn't seem to be able to 'walk the talk'). I'm eager to hear your opinions.
Oh and BTW, great performance from Wade and Noppert so far. I'm already enjoying this Matchplay.
