Unterbuchner defeats Mandigers for second successive year, De Graaf shows experience to edge past Hutchinson
BDOSunday, 05 January 2020 at 18:15
Michael Unterbuchner and Aileen de Graaf are through their respective first tests at the 2020 BDO World Championship.
Unterbuchner claimed the first set of the match despite being five points down in the averages and surviving a 170 checkout from the Dutchman.
A 15 dart leg at the right moment saw Mandigers making it all square in the early going.
Despite that, this clinical nature didn’t continue as it was Unterbuchner’s turn as he pounced on a missed set dart from Mandigers and from there he went on to claim victory meaning a good start for the German.
It was a good start also for Aileen de Graaf who edged past Kirsty Hutchinson despite going a set down; experience prevailed for one of the top seeds though as she moved through to the Quarter-Finals.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
