The International Darts Open has been blown wide open with two notable departures over the past two days in Peter Wright and Mensur Suljovic meaning a potential new winner once again on the European Tour.
Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Final take place tonight in Riesa. It all begins with James Richardson vs Simon Whitlock.
Richardson saw off Ian White in the afternoon session, the most recent new winner on the European Tour.
He has only ever made one overall career final and has a major chance of making another later tonight.
Secondly, Darren Webster will face Danny Noppert. Webster saw off perennial European Tour quarter-finalist Joe Cullen while Noppert blew it all wide open by sending home Mensur Suljovic,
Now ‘Noppie’ knows that his World Grand Prix spot is secure he can go for the win but will know a hard task awaits him.
Steve West will also have a tough task against Adrian Lewis who is still looking for his first title of 2018 after showing good early season promise.
Finally Gerwyn Price will take on Ryan Searle which looks like the game of the Quarter-Finals. Price despite recovering from his injury has looked good as of late and as has his opponent who will look to make a second final of the month later tonight.

- 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 - 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
