Rob Cross has completed a straight sets victory over Seigo Asada in the first round of the World Championship but this did not tell the full story of the match.
Asada like in the preliminary match played brilliantly and had it not been for some brilliance towards the end from Cross, Asada would have got a set as he was 2-0 up in the final set that Cross won 3-2 with a D8 finish from 'Voltage'.
Also in that set, Cross went 7 darts into the 9 and had the second 104 average of the night after Dimitri van den Bergh's earlier. Also he hit six 180's and 50% on the doubles. Asada himself averaged 92.91 and will take a good 2 games away and a good pay day of £11,000 from his first round exit.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- 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
