This past weekend was the Austrian Darts Open 2018 and Dimitri van den Bergh topped the averages for the tournament. 'The Dreammaker' hit an effort of 106.42 in a 6-4 win over Simon Stevenson in Round 1 on Friday.
It was a game that also included a 9-darter attempt from the Belgian ace; as he became the next player to come close to the darting holy grail which hasn't been broken on the Euro Tour in 5 years.
Van den Bergh was joined close behind by Mensur Suljovic, 'The Gentle' looked inspired all weekend in front of his home crowd. He hit 106.29 in smashing Darius Labanauskas 6-1.
The champion Jonny Clayton was 3rd showing his form all weekend. 'The Ferret' hit an average of 105.32 in shocking James Wade which was potentially the defining moment in the weekend for the Pontyberem ace.
In addition, Gerwyn Price the finalist in the all-Welsh clash registered 2 efforts in the top ten all weekend. Hitting the 9th and 10th best efforts showing a return to form for the Iceman.
It was a tournament that saw exactly 10 averages of 100+ thrown in 46 games all weekend showing how good darts is at the moment.

- @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
- 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
