Friday, 08 September 2023 at 14:34

The first three victors are set at the German Darts Open in Jena, with a lot to celebrate for the Dutch fans as Wesley Plaisier and Kevin Doets booked their spots in the second round.

Plaisier now faces Ross Smith in the second round. He averaged just shy of a ton in a 6-4 win over George Killington. It was a 99.81 mark for the World Master who has previously impressed on the European Tour. He hit five 180's and 66.7% on the doubles and was in clinical form.

As Doets also moved through. Off the back of his maiden final on the ProTour, he averaged 96 average in seeing off debutant Callum Goffin 6-2 to start the afternoon off. He faces Ryan Searle.

While for Razma, it will be Andrew Gilding tomorrow after a clinical display of doubling. He saw off Stephen Burton with the display of the afternoon so far. This featured 75% on the outer ring and a 96 average as he took the Suffolk ace to task who hit only 1/5.
