Durrant sees off Richardson in thrilling clash, Cross eases past Henderson
PDCSaturday, 14 September 2019 at 14:47
Three more players are through to the final day of action at the International Darts Open with the theme being the dominance of the seeds so far with Glen Durrant, Rob Cross and Adrian Lewis all making it past their respective tests.
Durrant came through a thrilling clash with James Richardson claiming it 6-3 but that didn't paint the full picture. 'Ruthless' played his part hitting four 180's and averaging 100 but just lost out to 'Duzza' who himself averaged 98.
Cross had a much more simpler route through with 'Voltage' coming through a 6-1 rout against John Henderson with a 101 average who couldn't continue his form that he has shown especially in the past week.
Lewis impressed at points against William O'Connor but only just edged past 'The Magpie' with an 81 average to boot. It is a day of Major Champions, will that continue as the session continues in Riesa.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
