Jermaine Wattimena and Kim Huybrechts have advanced to the last eight at the Czech Darts Open and will return for the evening session later. The all-Dutch clash with Raymond van Barneveld was decided 6-4 in favor of 'The Machine Gun'.
The doubles were the deciding factor in this showdown. Van Barneveld had a finishing percentage of only 22 percent, compared to 67 percent for his compatriot. Van Barneveld missed three chances to lead 2-0 in the second leg, and also missed two chances to make it 2-1.
With a 17-darter and a 111 finish, the 57-year-old Hagenaar then did take a 3-2 lead, but then there were five more misses on the double in leg six. With a 52 finish and a 13-darter, Wattimena retook the lead.
Van Barneveld missed two more chances in the eighth leg, after which Wattimena threw 41 to make it 5-3. 'Barney' closed to 5-4, but then Wattimena finished it off well with a 68 finish.
In the last eight, Wattimena will face Kim Huybrechts. The Belgian put an end to the tournament of taste-maker Pavel Drtil, who had previously sent Joe Cullen and Josh Rock home. Drtil gave Huybrechts a good match, but the win went to 'The Hurricane' 6-4.

- Beau had already decided to play in WDF Worlds months back - it's a shame because I reckon she could put a run together.Thomas Moffatt20-10-2024
- That will tick the box making SKY happy. I presume Beau will forfeit her place in the PDC WC. I have to say, excluding Beau and occasionally Fallon the women's game is very poor at the moment, I can't see any of the current crop even winning a leg let alone a match.richieburnettrocks19-10-2024
- 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
