Daryl Gurney provided a small shock in the opening round of the World Matchplay. 'Superchin' defeated former winner Rob Cross 12-10 on Saturday night.
"Rob Cross is one of the greatest and he's still improving," Gurney opened. "He's one of the best players in the world so to beat him shows that I've still got. This is my eighth year at the Matchplay and I can still roll with the best."
Gurney, however, suffered a leg injury during the match. "I pulled the calf somehow in my left leg. It's really sore, I don't know what's happened to that but I've got a couple of days off now so I'll be alright."
The 37-year-old Northern Irishman is already dreaming of final wins. "A third major win (Gurney won the World Grand Prix in 2017 and the Players Championship Finals in 2018) is definitely possible. If I didn't believe in that, I wouldnt even be in this tournament."

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
