"I’ve got a swagger about me right now" - Rob Cross oozing confidence as he looks to secure second successive World Series title

Rob Cross has very convincingly qualified for the quarter-finals of the Nordic Darts Masters. 'Voltage' was 6-4 too strong for Jeffrey de Graaf in the first round.
The winner of the most recent World Series of Darts tournament at the US Darts Masters in New York last time out, Cross continued his excellent form with an average of 108.19. Despite his brilliance however, Voltage was made to work for his win as a very game Jeffrey de Graaf gave almost as good as he got, averaging 102.25 himself. When the Dutch/Swede got his big chance in leg 10 however, De Graaf was unable to nail the bull or mop up the remaining 25 after Cross missed three clear darts for the match, allowing the former world champion to return again and this time the Englishman made no mistake, nailing double 8 for the 6-4 win.

“I was very focused tonight and I needed to be,” Cross said in his post-match interview, having fired in legs of 15, 11, 14, 14 and 13 darts en route to his victory. “In my opinion Jeffrey was the toughest opponent I could have drawn. He’s been in very good form and credit to him, he caused me a lot of problems."
Cross took the title in New York at the US Darts Masters
Cross seems to be feeling excellent in his skin in recent weeks, as he was the best at the US Darts Masters in New York last week. "I’m enjoying my darts and I’ve got a swagger about me right now. I just want to perform and I just want to win, so life is good at the moment," he admits happily.
In the quarter finals later on this Saturday night, Cross takes on Stephen Bunting, who was just about too strong for Daniel Larsson in the opening round 6-5, in an all-English duel.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
