"It's been a very long time. Wherever you go now, people want to play darts and watch darts. These crowds are incredible. I don't know how I've won it tonight. My last three games I've never been as lucky in darts."
The final was closely contested, with both players battling to find their best form. The match was evenly poised at 6-6 when Anderson, a two-time world champion, scored a crucial 121 checkout to break Smith's throw and move within one leg of victory.
