Mensur Suljovic criticized for unsportsmanlike conduct at Swiss Darts Trophy
Professional darts player Vincent van der Voort has criticized Mensur Suljovic for unsportsmanlike conduct during the Swiss Darts Trophy in Basel. The controversy arose during Suljovic's quarter-final match against Ross Smith, which Suljovic won 6-5.
During the match, Suljovic reportedly encouraged the crowd to make noise while Smith was attempting his match darts. Van der Voort, speaking on the Darts Draait Door podcast, argued that Suljovic deliberately crossed a line by stirring up the audience rather than earning their support naturally.
Suljovic also faced criticism for his post-match comments, which included dismissals of Smith's complaints and a remark regarding women. Despite the controversy, Suljovic progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament.
