Danny Noppert has advanced to the third round at the Hungarian Darts Trophy at the expense of Nathan Aspinall. 'The Freeze' won 6-4 over the former World Matchplay champion on Saturday night.
Aspinall made his return to the darts circuit this week after being out of action for a month and a half due to an arm injury. Aspinall won 6-3 over Krzysztof Ratajski in the first round, while Noppert had a bye.
Noppert did not appear to lack match rhythm, however, as he started the match convincingly. He broke Aspinall in the first leg with a 104 finish and then doubled the lead with a 12-darter.
With a 110 finish and a 14-darter the Dutchman extended his lead to 5-1. Aspinall then fought his way back to 5-4, before Noppert ended the match with a 14-darter. In the next round Noppert will meet compatriot Gian van Veen, who won 6-4 against Keane Barry.
Peter Wright also joined the last sixteen. 'Snakebite' managed a whitewash win over Damon Heta, who posted an average of barely 88. Wright posted a 93 average, and had a 46 checkout percentage.
Things already went wrong in the first leg for Heta, who missed two chances to take the first leg. Wright did hit the double, and then took a 3-0 lead with a 16-darter and a 52 finish.
Heta again missed two doubles in leg four before Wright made it 4-0 with a 60 finish. The two-time world champion then made it 5-0 with a 19-darter, before closing beautifully with a 12-dart leg.
Defending champion Dave Chisnall also started the tournament with a victory. The Englishman played an excellent match, winning 6-1 over Jonny Clayton thanks to an average of 101 and a checkout percentage of 46 percent.

- 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. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
