Price squeezes through in last leg decider, will face Cross who completes Quarter-Final lineup
NewsSunday, 15 April 2018 at 16:19
The lineup for the Quarter-Finals this evening in Saarbrucken at the German Darts Open have been finalised with Gerwyn Price taking on Rob Cross in the final one.
For 'The Iceman' he came back from 4-2 down to defeat Suljovic who missed a match dart in the decider. This was of course the battle of the two relegated players from the Premier League but it was Price who prevailed.
Cross will face Price; he came through a tight affair himself defeating Darren Webster 6-4 in a match that included two 9-darter attempts from 'Voltage' with one of them missing D12. This means that the curse of Ross Smith has continued with there not being a 9-darter since 2013 on the European Tour.
Third Round
Michael van Gerwen (98.72) 6-4 (90.36) Alan Tabern
Dave Chisnall (90.3) 0-6 (106.09) Ian White
Daryl Gurney (97.46) 5-6 (98.54) Mervyn King
Michael Smith (100.7) 6-3 (93.07) Jelle Klaasen
Max Hopp (84.21) 6-4 (81.46) Benito van de Pas
Joe Cullen (93.66) 6-2 (81.29) Daniel Larsson
Mensur Suljovic (100.13) 5-6 (98.15) Gerwyn Price
Darren Webster (86.63) 4-6 (99.8) Rob Cross

- 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
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
