NewsSunday, 24 September 2017 at 16:05
Gerwyn Price knocked out defending champion Mensur Suljovic in a hotly contested match full of showboating and high averages. Suljovic missed a dart at D18 and Price put in a brilliant final leg to get through to face the winner of the next game between Ian White and Kim Huybrechts.
Kim Huybrechts will face Gerwyn Price in a battle of two very intense players. The Hurricane extended his record to 9 out of 13 vs Ian White after an impressive last leg decider.
Joe Cullen continued a brilliant run in Riesa taking out a rejuvenated Alan Norris who has looked out of sorts as of late. The Rockstar put in a good performance averaging just shy of 100 and will face either Mervyn King or Simon Whitlock in tonight's Quarter-Final.
Simon Whitlock finished off the afternoon session with an emphatic win against Mervyn King 6-1 with an average of 99.82 and 6/14 on the doubles and will face Joe Cullen later.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
