Adrian Lewis Takes a Break from Professional Darts

Former World Champion Steps Away After Victory

Former world champion Adrian Lewis has announced that he is taking a break from professional darts. The news comes after Lewis won his first ranking title in over three years at the Players Championship. The victory had put Lewis firmly in contention for a spot in the World Matchplay.

Lewis, who has been struggling with form in recent years, said that he needs to take some time away from the game to "recharge and reassess" his career. He added that he is still committed to darts and hopes to return to the sport in the future.

Lewis's decision will come as a disappointment to his fans, but it is understandable given his recent struggles. He has not won a major title since 2015 and has fallen out of the top 16 in the world rankings.

It remains to be seen whether Lewis will be able to return to the heights of his former glory. However, he is still only 35 years old and has plenty of time to prove that he can still compete at the highest level.
