Either Mensur Suljovic or Raymond van Barneveld will contest the Masters 2018 final.
The Austrian sealed a semi-final meeting with Barney after a 10-8 victory over Rob Cross. Suljovic was broken twice in the early stages, but each time bounced back in style. Finishes of 120 and 121 meant Cross could not capitalise on throw.
The world champion was 5-3 up, but the Gentle rattled off five legs on the spin to take control. A 112 checkout was the highlight, as Suljovic developed a ruthless streak on the doubles. Cross, by contrast, missed a host of darts at doubles. Suljovic struck his first and only maximum in the 16th leg, as he took a 9-7 advantage. Cross forced the Champions League 2017 champion to hold throw and win. He did just that, checking out 136 to reach the semi-finals for the first time.

- 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
