Rob Cross Apologizes for Gesture at Darts Championship

Rob Cross has addressed a controversial gesture he made during his unexpected defeat to Scott Williams at the World Darts Championship, where he seemingly imitated a sexual act on camera. Following his exit in the second round, Cross expressed his disappointment on social media, stating he gestured to his manager out of frustration with his performance and apologized to anyone he may have offended. Williams, who is set to compete in the next round, acknowledged their friendship but emphasized the competitiveness of the match, noting he was unaware of Cross's gesture at the time. The Darts Regulation Authority may consider disciplinary action against Cross for the incident, which has overshadowed the match itself. Williams, reflecting on his victory, mentioned his desire to improve his consistency in future tournaments. Both players remain focused on the holiday season ahead despite the match's intensity.
