Some big results have come out of the German Darts Championship Last 16 so far this afternoon in Hildesheim with Mervyn King thrashing Michael van Gerwen being the main one.
Before the match began, it was duly noted regarding King's losing streak against Van Gerwen on the European Tour but 'The King' came out and produced a 6-1 win over the World Number One averaging 100.2 and hitting three 180's en route.
The former World Master took advantage of only an 89 average from Mighty Mike to dump him out and make his woes continue.
Also with Gerwyn Price now out of the competition last night, it means Peter Wright will now likely become the favourite if he can get through his tie against Jonny Clayton next up.

Or could James Wade add to his tally of European Tour titles. Reaching Halle 39 late on last night due to a missed flight, he saw off home hope Nico Kurz without a great deal of fuss and produced some quality darts to see off Mensur Suljovic with ease 6-1.
Wade averaged 103.2 in victory with 66% on the doubles and it included an early flourish with a 110 finish being the highlight of the opening exchanges. He is now through to tonight alongside Mervyn King.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
