He will not be facing Rob Cross in the Quarter-Finals though as the World Champion is out of the European Darts Open 2018. 'Voltage' was beaten by Richard North.
Cross broke North to force a deciding leg after 'Northy' missed his chance to hold to win. North though held his nerve to knock out the World Champion in the following leg despite only averaging 91 and will now play Meulenkamp.
