Flying Scotsman Gary Anderson celebrated his birthday in style by extending his record run at the Alexandra Palace and progressing at the Cazoo World Championships.
The two-time champion reached both the age of 52 and also the third round after sinking talented Madars Razma in an intriguing tussle. Anderson made it 49 match wins on the Ally Pally stage as he secured a 3-1 success having been pushed by the dangerous Latvian.
The Scot had to produce some classy stuff at times to get the job done and, although a lack of action this year has seen him drop to 11th seed for the big one, he’s up for a title battle. Anderson said: “World No.1 or No.128, I don’t care. At the end of the day, you’ve still got to beat me.
