Price clinical against Henderson, Cross survives match darts in victory over De Zwaan

The first matches in tonight's evening session at the Austrian Darts Open are complete with Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Peter Wright breaking the seeds curse which was evident in the first session.

In this session only 2 seeded players went through but this number has already gone up by one but for all but one player it was a difficult route through.
Price ended up seeing off birthday boy John Henderson who couldn't harness that to claim the victory as 'The Iceman' claimed a 6-3 average. The doubling statistics were the difference with Price claiming 6/7 on the doubles in a polished performance.
Cross had it more tougher with the former World Champion surviving three match darts in a decider against Jeffrey de Zwaan who has been in excellent form.
'Voltage' would have been expecting a tough contest so will be relieved to claim the victory.
Finally Wright didn't have it easy either with him snapping up a narrow 6-5 win against Chris Dobey in a deciding leg. 'Snakebite' had to hit a 104 checkout to claim the win and considering his recent form it will be a win he will be relieved to get.
