Dramatic decider for Dirk as Van Duijvenbode seals hard-fought win over Ross Smith, set to face Rock in Quarter-Finals

The last Quarter-Final has been confirmed at the 2023 European Darts Open with Dirk van Duijvenbode set to face Josh Rock this evening in Leverkusen.
As ever with Van Duijvenbode, it was a thrilling clash with Ross Smith that saw him move through as he produced a 11-darter in the decider to claim the win to move through. Producing a 97 average and four 180's, 'The Titan' continues his superb form.
Initially going 5-3 up with an 11-darter, a missed match darts allowed Smith a route back in with a 15-dart 64 checkout and more match darts allowed Smith to send it all the way only for his comeback to be cut short by the Dutchman.
In the last eight, a showdown with Northern Irish super-talent Josh Rock awaits. 'Rocky' quickly grabbed a 4-0 lead against compatriot Brendan Dolan, but still pulled off a difficult 6-5 win in the end averting a late comeback.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
