Nevertheless, Chisnall was unable to convert a crucial match dart, allowing Evans, who is ranked No. 45 in the world, to sneak away with victory in a tense sudden death leg.
With the match tied at 2-2, both competitors showcased remarkable throws that kept the crowd intensely invested.
The pressure mounted on Chisnall, the 13th seed, who miscalculated his finish, opening the door for Evans to take the win.
‘Rapid’ seized the opportunity, securing the final leg 6-5.
Post-match, Evans shared his disbelief and excitement about the result as he looks ahead to facing Welsh player Robert Owen.
Identifying himself as a “quirky lad from Kettering,” he beamed and remarked: “I went up against a world-class player, and I actually performed well this time – it’s typically not exciting, just monotonous.”
“Look at me, I’m just a unique guy from Kettering; I can’t comprehend why the audience backs me.”
“Honestly, I wished I could have defeated Chizzy 3-0; that would have been easier on my heart.”

He wrapped up with a festive cheer to his supporters: “Merry Christmas, you wonderful oddballs!”
