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.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
