Adrian Lewis

Lewis was born in Stoke-on-Trent and had shown his potential at the age of 18 by winning the 2003 British Teenage Open.{{cite web|title=2003 British Teenage Open|url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=1471|work=Dartsdatabase|access-date=3 January 2011|archive-date=29 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229171135/http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=1471|url-status=dead}}{{cite web | url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/I%27m+young+and+I%27ve+set+myself+a+goal+-+I+want+eight+to+10+world...-a0289681023 | title=I'm young and I've set myself a goal - I want eight to 10 world titles; From winning the jackpot in Vegas, to training and sharing winnings with 'The Power', Lewis has welcomed Lady Luck. | publisher=The Free Library | access-date=18 June 2012}} His professional career began in the British Darts Organisation (BDO) events but he only competed in one major tournament, the 2003 Winmau World Masters, losing in the last 128.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/PlayerDetails.aspx?PlayerKey=5&organPd=BDO&tourns=All&plStat=1#PlayerResults | title=Adrian Lewis BDO Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=18 June 2012}} Lewis then joined the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) without ever qualifying for the BDO World Championship.

Lewis reached a semi-final of the regional qualifiers for the UK Open in 2004, which provided his opportunity for a television debut at the 2004 UK Open in Bolton, where he narrowly lost 7–8 to Dennis Harbour in the last 64.{{cite web | url=http://www.pdc.tv/player-profiles/article/1oxmjsakgy0fw1bdhue8l5qy2h/title/adrian-lewis | title=Adrian Lewis | publisher=PDC | access-date=18 June 2012 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102071454/http://www.pdc.tv/player-profiles/article/1oxmjsakgy0fw1bdhue8l5qy2h/title/adrian-lewis | archive-date=2 November 2012}}{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=245 | title=2004 UK Open Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=18 June 2012}} His next television appearance came against his mentor Phil Taylor at the 2004 Las Vegas Desert Classic where he went out 0–2 in the first round. He then went on to win his first match on television at the 2004 World Grand Prix beating former world champion Richie Burnett, before losing to Gary Welding. His first professional ranking title came in September 2004, when he won the Chris de Roo Open after defeating Colin Lloyd in the final.

He failed to qualify for the 2005 World Championship, but back at Bolton for the 2005 UK Open he produced one of the rare whitewashes in the tournament's history, beating Colin Monk 11–0 before falling 11–8 to Chris Mason in the last 16. In 2005, Lewis took on the nickname "Jackpot" as he won a jackpot gambling in Las Vegas that year, but he was unable to collect the money as he was 20 years old, below the US legal gambling age of 21.{{Cite web |date=25 November 2011 |title=Adrian Lewis: 'I'm not as friendly with Phil Taylor as I once was' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/nov/25/adrian-lewis-small-talk |website=TheGuardian.com}}

In late 2005, Lewis began to produce some promising results, including reaching his first major event quarter-final in the 2005 World Matchplay, where he lost to Colin Lloyd. This result saw him break into the top 32 in the world for the first time. He then became the first player to win both PDC Pro Tour events during a weekend by taking the PDPA Players Championship and the UK Open Scottish Regional titles.{{Cite news|title=Adrian Lewis Profile|url=https://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/player-profile-live.php?pid=5|work=Dartsdatabase|access-date=5 January 2025}}

Lewis made his PDC World Championship debut in 2006, reaching the quarter-finals by defeating Dave Honey, Dennis Priestley and Roland Scholten.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=38 | title=2006 PDC World Championship Results | publisher=Darts database | access-date=2 January 2012}} In the quarter-final Lewis was involved in a now infamous match against Peter Manley. When 2–1 down, Lewis successfully hit a blind 180, turning to face Manley as the last dart was in the air. Manley won the set and then appeared to say something while Lewis was throwing, which caused Lewis to leave the stage. Lewis did return, but went on to lose the match 5–3.{{cite web|url=http://www.pdc.tv/page/WorldChampsDetail/0,,10180~761768,00.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120805113931/http://www.pdc.tv/page/WorldChampsDetail/0,,10180~761768,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 August 2012 |title=Lewis' Dream Ended By Manley |publisher=PDC |access-date=3 January 2012 }}

His biggest breakthrough came in May 2006 when he joined the 15 other PDC players in the top-16 competing against 16 American qualifiers in the World Series of Darts which was broadcast on ESPN. Lewis' performance in this tournament made others refer to him as a major threat in years to come. He beat Lloyd 6–5, Denis Ovens 9–6 and Priestley 11–1 before falling in the final 13–5 to Taylor.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=480 | title=2006 World Series Of Darts Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=29 December 2013}}

His ranking continued to rise by reaching the latter stages of the non-televised PDC Pro Tour events during 2006 (including winning a Scottish Players Championship) as well as the last 16 of the UK Open, having beaten Wayne Mardle 11–10 in the last 32, before losing to John MaGowan 11–6.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=116 | title=2006 PDPA Players Championship Scotland Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=29 December 2013}}{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=41 | title=2006 UK Open Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=29 December 2013 | archive-date=9 September 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120909071427/http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=41 | url-status=dead }}

Between 2007 and 2010, Lewis produced inconsistent form and was often unable to follow up on big wins such as at the 2007 World Matchplay in Blackpool where he beat the incumbent world champion Raymond van Barneveld 16–14 in the quarter-finals before losing heavily 17–7 in the semi-finals to James Wade.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=188 | title=2007 World Matchplay Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=29 December 2013 | archive-date=18 February 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218064656/http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=188 | url-status=dead }}

At the 2008 European Darts Championship, Lewis played his first-round match against Hannes Schnier with three plasters on his non-throwing hand – having attempted to catch a falling glass backstage which shattered in his hand. After winning the match 5–2, Lewis was taken to hospital for checks on two deep cuts.{{cite news|url=http://www.planetdarts.tv/page/LatestDetail/0,,10180~1439716,00.html |title=PartyPoker.net European Championship – Night Two (Adrian Lewis v Hannes Schnier) |publisher=planetdarts.tv |date=31 October 2008 |access-date=31 October 2008 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Lewis went on to beat Ovens 9–5 before producing at the time arguably the best performance of his career with a 9–2 victory over van Barneveld in the quarter-finals.

Lewis was defeated in the second round of the 2009 World Championship 3–4 by Paul Nicholson but did manage to end his title drought in September.{{cite web|url=http://www.pdc.tv/page/WorldChampsDetail/0,,10180~1503047,00.html |title=World Championship Day Eight |publisher=PDC |access-date=3 January 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416201322/http://www.pdc.tv/page/WorldChampsDetail/0%2C%2C10180~1503047%2C00.html |archive-date=16 April 2009 }} He won his first PDC Pro Tour event in three years at the Austrian Players Championship, where he beat Carlos Rodriguez 6–4 in the final, which included a nine dart finish. He dedicated his victory to his one-month-old daughter. He added another Pro Tour title the following month at the Irish Open Players Championship beating Andy Hamilton in the final by 6 legs to 4.

His form on television also improved during 2009 reaching the quarter-finals of the Las Vegas Desert Classic, World Matchplay and World Grand Prix. During 2010 he also made the last eight of the World Championship, Players Championships and UK Open before reaching his first televised final on Sky Television in the 2010 World Grand Prix where he beat Phil Taylor for the first time on television in the semi-finals but lost to James Wade in the final. There were further title successes in 2010, when he won Players Championships in Crawley and Germany to bring his overall Pro Tour title tally to seven.

Lewis reached the final of the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship courtesy of victories over Tony Eccles, Mark Dudbridge, Robert Thornton, Vincent van der Voort and Mark Webster en route to the final, where he played Gary Anderson. The match-up ensured that, for the first time, the winner of the PDC World Championship would not have previously succeeded in the rival BDO World Championship. Lewis himself became the only player to have reached the PDC final without playing full-time on the BDO circuit.

During the first set of the match, Lewis became the first player to throw a nine dart finish in a World Championship final.{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/darts-ninedart-finish-propels-lewis-to-maiden-title-2175339.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110105122011/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/darts-ninedart-finish-propels-lewis-to-maiden-title-2175339.html |archive-date=2011-01-05 |url-access=limited |url-status=live|work=The Independent|publisher=Independent Print Limited|date=4 January 2011|access-date=4 January 2011|title=Nine-dart finish propels Lewis to maiden title|first=Paul|last=Newman|location=London}} Lewis went on to win the match 7–5 and with it the championship, guaranteeing him a place in the 2011 Premier League. He had also risen to his highest ranking of No. 2.

He almost exited the tournament on multiple occasions, beginning with his first round match against Nigel Heydon. He trailed 0–2 and was stung by a wasp during a break on his non-throwing hand, but nevertheless managed to claw his way back to 2–2. Heydon led 2–1 in the deciding set, but never had a dart for the match as Lewis won four of the last five legs to avoid an early exit.{{cite web | url=http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2548906,00.html | title=World Championship – Night One | publisher=PDC | access-date=3 January 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120108000057/http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2548906,00.html | archive-date=8 January 2012 | url-status=dead}} More comfortable victories ensued over Robert Thornton (4–2) and Wayne Jones (4–0), with Lewis seemingly heading for the semi-finals as he led Terry Jenkins 3–0 in the last 8, having only lost 2 legs.{{cite web | url=http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventResults.aspx?EventKey=3069 | title=2012 PDC World Championship Results | publisher=Darts Database | access-date=3 January 2012}} However, his opponent stormed back to level the match, before Lewis rediscovered his form to win the last two sets and clinch a 5–3 win.

The tournament victory took Lewis' career prize money above the £1 million mark, and confirmed his number two status in the PDC Order of Merit.[http://www.pdc.tv/page/PDCOrderofMerit/0,,10180,00.html PDC Order of Merit 2012] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025145856/http://www.pdc.tv/page/PDCOrderofMerit/0%2C%2C10180%2C00.html |date=25 October 2012 }} Planet Darts, 3 January 2012 His semi-final comeback was named PDC Televised Performance of the Year at the PDC annual awards ceremony on 3 January.{{cite web | url=http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2565367,00.html | title=Taylor Named Player of the Year | publisher=PDC | access-date=5 January 2012 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120108233649/http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0%2C%2C10180~2565367%2C00.html | archive-date=8 January 2012}}

Lewis maintained his form for his next tournament of the season as he represented England and won the 2012 PDC World Cup of Darts, with Phil Taylor.

In July 2024 it was announced Lewis would be partnering with MODUS Sports Management effective immediately and that Lewis will play on the MODUS Super Series in 2025.{{cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Kieran |title=Two-time world champion Adrian Lewis will make comeback in May after more than two years' absence |url=https://dartsnews.com/modus/two-time-world-champion-adrian-lewis-will-make-comeback-in-may-after-more-than-two-years-absence |website=Darts News |access-date=19 March 2025 |language=en |date=13 February 2025}}

Lewis did not attend the PDPA's 2024/25 PDC World Championship TCH Qualifier.

Lewis has been involved in several controversial matches during his career, including his debut World Championship in 2006. During his quarter-final with Peter Manley he left the stage part-way through the match as he alleged Manley had been trying to upset him while he was throwing.[http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,1-1207462,00.html Sky Sports]{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

In April 2008, he argued with Kevin Painter during their quarter final match at the Holland Masters. This resulted in a six-month ban for Lewis, as well as a four-month suspension and a fine of £400.

At the 2009 World Grand Prix Lewis was playing Gary Anderson in the second round and during the first set the two players exchanged words after Anderson felt Lewis went into the exclusion zone while Anderson was throwing. Lewis won the match 3–2.[http://www.pdc.tv/page/GrandPrixDetail/0,,10180~1820667,00.html 2009 Skybet World Grand Prix] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120916222339/http://www.pdc.tv/page/GrandPrixDetail/0%2C%2C10180~1820667%2C00.html |date=16 September 2012 }}

During the 2012 PDC World Darts Championship semi-final, both Lewis and his opponent James Wade left the stage with Lewis trailing 2–0 in sets, after complaining of a 'draught' blowing across the stage. The 25-minute break seemed to provoke the crowd into heckling Lewis for the remainder of the game, Lewis went on to win the match 6–5.[https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/jan/02/adrian-lewis-james-wade-world-championship – Lewis Beats wade with drama] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310090210/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/jan/02/adrian-lewis-james-wade-world-championship |date=10 March 2016 }}
