Andrew Gilding adds to Peter Wright's woes as Humphries & Van Gerwen seal impressive wins at Baltic Sea Darts Open
PDC
Andrew Gilding, Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen have all booked their spot in the last 16 of the Baltic Sea Darts Open in Kiel this Saturday evening.
Former UK Open champion Gilding has struggled on the European Tour so far this year but Goldfinger added to the recent woes of Peter Wright with a 6-2 win over the former world champion. After losing the opening leg, Gilding rattled off the next five in succession and although Wright did get one back, there was no comeback on the cards with 'Goldfinger' sealing victory with a 16-darter finished on tops.
For Humphries, fresh off the back of Premier League success in Leeds, things were always comfortable against Sebastian Bialecki. Averaging 103, fourteen points more the his opponent, Humphries fired three maximums and pinned a 142 checkout en route to victory.
After Wessel Nijman dispatched an out of sorts Luke Littler on Friday night, he would have had high hopes against Michael van Gerwen. Sadly for the talented Dutch youngster, van Gerwen was in no mood to mess around. Racing into a 3-1 lead averaging northwards of 111 van Gerwen was strong and despite his average eventually dropping to a 'mere' 107.78, the former world champion ran out a comfortable 6-2 winner.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
