Josh Rock and Gary Anderson have become the first two men to secure their position in the quarter-finals at the 2024 European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen.
In a thrilling opening tie of the session, Rock raced into an early lead against Michael Smith. After the Northern Irishman went 4-0 clear though, Smith rallied and then reeled off the next five legs himself to move 5-4 ahead and just one away from the win. With 'Bully Boy' waiting on 81 for the match, Rock checked out a sensational 170 finish to grasp the momentum back and force a decider. In the deciding leg, it was Rock who took it, breaking throw with a 12-dart-leg for the 6-5 win.

Although Price managed to get back to 4-5, the Welshman couldn't send the match into a deciding leg as Anderson secured his spot in the quarter-finals on double top for the 6-4 victory.
