The first two matches in the evening session on Day One of the European Darts Open are complete with Krzysztof Ratajski and Jeffrey de Zwaan coming through their respective ties.
Ratajski edged out Matthew Edgar coming from 3-1 down to win 6-5. This was despite just 6/31 on the doubles. ‘The Polish Eagle’ will now face off against Michael Smith tomorrow in what is a potentially quality clash. De Zwaan in his tie against Josh Payne saw him off in a 6-1 victory in a result that wouldn’t have been expected. Payne had trouble on his doubles which was his downfall with only 1/9 on his doubles. ‘The Black Cobra’ will face off against Daryl Gurney tomorrow in another quality clash as the action continues in Leverkusen. Evening Session (1915 local time, 1815 GMT) Matthew Edgar (86.07) 5-6 (86.85) Krzysztof Ratajski Jeffrey de Zwaan (91.01) 6-1 (84.92) Josh Payne Kim Huybrechts v Nico Kurz Jason Wilson v Mervyn King Michael Rosenauer v Glen Durrant Ritchie Edhouse v Dimitri Van den Bergh Steve Beaton v Raymond van Barneveld Wayne Jones v Vincent van der Voort

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
