The afternoon session is complete at the German Darts Championship with Mervyn King, Dragutin Horvat and Lukas Wenig through to the second round.
King who will be after confirming a World Grand Prix spot before the cut off this weekend started out in the best possible way easing past Steffen Siepmann in a 6-1 win.
En route, he hit a 93 average with two 180’s and 5/16 on his doubles compared to Siepmann who only averaged 78 with 1/10 on his doubles proving pivotal.
There will be two host nation qualifiers through to the next round though including Dragutin Horvat who missed double 12 for a nine-darter before closing out the match with a ten-darter in a 6-4 win with four 180’s and a 94.6 average.
Lukas Wenig is also through after surviving a late comeback from Cody Harris who came from 4-0 down to level up but he lost out in a 6-4 defeat. It is a first time win for the German who will go onto face Dave Chisnall tomorrow instead of a repeat of the World Series of Darts Finals tie from last weekend.
