The second round is complete at the German Darts Open with Jonny Clayton and Rob Cross the final players into the Last 16 in Jena.
Like his compatriot Gerwyn Price, it was a Williams on the agenda and an all-Welsh battle for Clayton as he faced Jim Williams and like the World Number One, he had to recover to seal the win in the end.
Surging into a 3-0 lead, Williams recovered including a 124 checkout to break as he soon made it parity at 3-3 before going ahead for the first time at 4-3 with an 81 checkout and a 12-darter.

But a 116 checkout kicked off the revival as Clayton made it 4-4 and didn't lose a leg from that points onwards as Williams missed chances to hold and Clayton hit double four for the win.
While for Cross, it was a more simpler equation as he thumped Martin Lukeman 6-1 in what was a tricky test on paper.
But in the end, it was a rout as Cross averaged 100.5 and hit 66% on the doubles en route to sealing it. The European Champion will now face Krzysztof Ratajski tomorrow.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals.
