The television coverage stated: “It’s the blind 180 in set one.
“That is what Williams does. That is what brings the excitement.”
However, viewers disagreed with this assessment, noting that he actually looked while throwing his dart before looking away.
One fan responded to Sky Sports’ video, stating: “He literally looks at the last one.”
Another added: “He is looking. He turns his head at the last moment after releasing the dart.”
A further viewer concurred, saying: “Yes. It’s not blind when you look away after throwing it.”
Fans also quoted the clip to share similar opinions.
One wrote: “Once again @SkySportsDarts, it’s NOT a no-look 180.
“He didn’t perform one in the last match either. He looks away after aiming and watching it fly toward the T20.”
Another fan agreed, adding: “Can we please stop calling these no-look 180s when they’re not? It’s complete nonsense.”
It was an exhilarating match between the two, with Wattimena ultimately securing his place in the next round after a five-set thriller.
The Dutchman had taken a 2-0 lead before Williams staged a fierce comeback to force a deciding set.
However, Williams couldn’t maintain the momentum as Wattimena won the deciding set 3-0 to advance to the third round.
