Hopp reaches back-to-back Euro Tour Quarter-Finals, will face Cullen who dispatched Larsson
NewsSunday, 15 April 2018 at 15:18
The next Quarter-Finalists at the German Darts Open in Saarbrucken have been confirmed with Max Hopp continuing his resurgent form and Joe Cullen who will sense a big opportunity to make the semi-final.
For 'The Maximiser' it wasn't the German at his best but he didn't need to be against Van de Pas who continues his poor run of form. Hopp as a result of this win makes it back-to-back Euro Tour quarter-finals with a 6-4 victory. He hit five 180's along the way living up to his nickname.
In terms of Cullen, he had double trouble like Hopp did in parts of his win but he overcame it to win 6-2 and dispatch Daniel Larsson to set up that clash with the German ace in the Quarter-Finals this evening.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
