The Quarter-Final line-up has been confirmed at the European Championship with Jeffrey de Zwaan finding his way through with victory over compatriot Jermaine Wattimena.
De Zwaan is through to his second major Quarter-Final with seven 180's hit along the way in what was a 10-6 win in the end.
'The Black Cobra' started brilliantly taking out 100 for an 11 darter and he took out 85 on the bull to move 3-1 up after Wattimena had hit a 158 checkout in the requisite leg.
Wattimena took out 84 to stay on him as the interval approached. 'Machine Gun' missed two darts at double and De Zwaan went two ahead again at 4-2 up.
De Zwaan added two more legs to make it three on the spin as he went 6-2 up but again Wattimena stayed on him at the second interval going 6-4 behind.
JDZ claimed a break taking out 97 to restore a three-leg cushion at 7-4 up. It was four consecutive breaks of throw with De Zwaan cleaning up 80 to go 8-5 in front.
The catalyst in the end was a 146 checkout to go 9-6 up and from there he concluded victory to set up that tie with Smith.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
