France duo Jacques Labre and Thibault Tricole have made even more history by reaching the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 World Cup of Darts in the opening match of the afternoon session in Frankfurt.
A team that were called upon to be in the tournament by many with the emergence of Tricole and also now Labre being a Tour Card holder, they have proved their worth.
The latest win seeing them defeat South Africa to reach the Quarter-Finals 8-4 as the run of Devon Petersen and Vernon Bouwers now comes to an end.
It was a strong start for the duo as they surged into a 2-0 lead in the race to eight with an early break.
It was nearly a double break but Petersen staved that off on double four at 2-1 down.
But Tricole struck again with a 100 checkout to make it 4-2 to go halfway from the win. Bouwers again nearly gifted a double break but Petersen kept it at 4-3.
But again Tricole sealed daylight at 5-3 on double 19. Two treble visits from Labre saw them head towards two away at 6-3.
Labre initially missed match darts but they returned to seal it 8-4.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- 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
