Rob Cross crowned himself the winner of the
New Zealand Darts Masters last weekend. It was his second televised final of this season, after 'Voltage' finished second at the Masters in Milton Keynes in late January.
At least thanks to his television finals this year, the 32-year-old Englishman has already maintained a remarkable run. Since becoming a professional darter in 2017, he has made at least one television final every year.
Cross reached the final of the European Darts Championship in 2017, after which he became world champion in 2018 and managed three more World Series finals. In 2019, Cross was in the finals of the Premier League Darts, World Matchplay, the European Darts Championship and the Brisbane Darts Masters. The year 2020 produced two finals, and in 2021 and 2022, the darter from Hastings was in a televised final once each. So this year, the tally already stands at two.
Incidentally, Cross has already been quite successful in his television finals. In total, he played a television tournament final sixteen times. Of these, he managed to finish six of them winningly.
