Florian Hempel reached the second round at the German Darts Open in Jena, Germany, on Friday night with a surprising win over multiple major winner James Wade.
Hempel produced the first big surprise of the tournament. The German beat Wade with his own weapon, as the German recorded a 75 percent finishing percentage.
A 13-darter, 84 check-out and a 70 finish gave Hempel a 5-2 lead. Wade made it 5-3 with a 101 check-out, but could not prevent Hempel from taking the win with a 115 check-out.
Gurney lived up to his favorite tag against Steve Lennon, although it did not go very easy for 'Superchin'. The Northern Irishman missed many doubles (6/17) but nevertheless managed to qualify for the second round in Jena with a 6-2 victory.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
