Austrian ace
Mensur Suljovic secured his own qualification from Group G and aided Michael Smith as a result who joined him into the knockout stage with his narrow 5-4 win over James Wilson. He now plays Berry van Peer in the Last 16 who has had one of the stories of the tournament overcoming dartitis to join the Last 16 lineup and Mensur spoke after his progression.
"It was a very hard game for me but I'm so happy to win it," said Suljovic. "Some of my finishes were really good, especially the 123 and 112, but it was a crazy game.
"I could have won two matches and still gone out, so it's fantastic that I'm through."
