Callan Rydz punished a slow start by Gian van Veen to seal a spot in the final day of the Swiss Darts Trophy 6-4.
For Van Veen it was his first appearance in Switzerland, after he was directly admitted to the last 32. Rydz had won 6-1 over Brendan Dolan in the first round on Friday.
The Dutchman got off to a late start against Rydz and missed too many chances in the early stages of the match. Van Veen missed one arrow on the double in the third leg, and even a full turn in the fifth leg. Rydz won both those legs to take a 4-1 lead.
In the sixth leg Van Veen missed another chance at a double, after which Rydz made it 5-1. With a 10-darter and a 108 finish the Dutchman came back strong to 4-5. Van Veen had one chance to force a deciding leg, but he missed the double 13. Rydz then decided the match with a 16-darter.
Ryan Searle easily advanced to the last sixteen of the Swiss Darts Trophy. Swiss qualifier Roger Hertig stunted in the first round with a 6-5 win over Ryan Meikle, but lost to Searle 6-1.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- 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
