Clayton recovers to defeat Williams, Cross thumps Lukeman as second round complete at German Darts Open

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.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
