The first round at the 2026 Australian Darts Masters will draw to a close with Damon Heta taking on Joe Comito on Friday morning. The Heat whitewashed this opponent in their last encounter, and our prediction is that he will win this match by a margin as well.
Damon Heta enters this competition as the number-one-ranked player in Australia and reached the quarter-finals of this tournament in each of the last two years.
The Heat also got to the last eight in New Zealand by beating Ben Robb 6-4 in the opening round. However, he proved no match for Gerwyn Price, losing his second match of the competition 6-2.
Heta has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions. His last victory against this opponent came in this tournament back in 2023 (6-0).
Meanwhile, Joe Comito is an experienced Oceanic player. He is featuring in his third Australian Darts Masters but has never got beyond the first round of the competition before.
The Waterboy was handed two extremely tough draws in the last two editions against Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price. He lost 6-1 and 6-3 in those matches, respectively.
Comito has won just one of his last seven listed matches - a 3-1 victory over Niko Springer at the World Championship last December.

Our Damon Heta vs Joe Comito Prediction
Joe Comito is a familiar face on the domestic circuit and at this competition, but he has struggled to compete with the PDC’s elite, failing to get beyond the first round in this tournament in previous editions.
Damon Heta will be a crowd favourite here on his home patch, and he was a cut above Comito when they last met in this competition. We fancy the Aussie number one to win this match fairly comfortably. Our Damon Heta vs Joe Comito prediction is Damon Heta -1.5.
