Cross confident after easing through to second round: 'I don't feel like I've played my best darts yet'

Cross said that it's nice to get through with no fuss especially against an opponent in 'Hollywood' who was expected to push him all the way.

He said though that he is happy with how he's playing; but despite that he believes he hasn't played his best darts as of yet which 'Voltage' will hope to spark into life as the week goes on.

"It's nice to get over the winning line with no fuss," said Cross.

"I wasn't great in the first five legs, and even though I was 4-1 up I was a bit edgy; but I settled down after that and took the initiative in the second session and started to play proper darts.

"If Chris had won the first leg, when he missed a couple of doubles, it could have been a different game. He's a class act and he's one for the future.

"I think it's the first time in three years here that I've found my feet and pushed on like that.

"I probably get better as the game goes on; and overall I'm happy with how I'm playing - but I don't feel like I've played my best darts yet. I love this event and I want to do well this week."
