Cross battles past Van den Bergh to reach knock-out stage at Grand Slam
NewsSunday, 11 November 2018 at 16:05
Rob Cross is the first player to confirm his place into the last 16 at the Grand Slam of Darts. A 5-4 victory over Dimitri van den Bergh was enough to confirm his place within the best two players in Group H.
The victory almost slipped out of Cross' hands as the Belgian had one match-dart in the leg-decider. However, Van den Bergh missed his chance and Cross took out 48 to win the match.
Stephen Bunting also claimed his second victory of the tournament after beating Mensur Suljovic 5-3. 'The Bullet' played impressive as he averaged 104.36 against the Austrian ace. Despite his victory, Bunting has not secured his spot in the next round yet, as Scott Mitchell managed to beat Martin Schindler earlier on Sunday.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
