Kleermaker survives seven match darts against debutant Ballaj, Razma claims hard fought victory over Leung
PDCFriday, 23 October 2020 at 21:10
The action continues at the International Darts Open with victories for Scott Baker, Martijn Kleermaker and Madars Razma in Riesa.
Baker was making his European Tour debut and it was a perfect one for 'The Mod' who saw off Michael Unterbuchner in a 6-4 win. He averaged 94 in victory with 12 140's hit throughout the tie.
Fine margins on doubles also got him through with 30% compared to 23% from his opponent who goes out at the first hurdle once more like in Sindelfingen.
Kleermaker is somehow through despite surviving seven match darts against debutant qualifier Arsen Ballaj in a 6-5 victory.
This was also despite an 85 average and just 28% on the doubles from 'The Dutch Giant' who like last time out failed to show his top level in his first game. Next up will be Krzysztof Ratajski.
Then it was the turn of Madars Razma who held off a fightback from 4-1 down from Kai Fan Leung to trail 5-4 as he moved through in a 6-4 victory but it won't get any easier when he takes on Michael van Gerwen next up.

- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024
- I have a nickname for him Ni I man.medinabello23-12-2024
- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- 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
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
- Hard to play slow players. Does your head in.medinabello23-12-2024
- What do you mean again?medinabello23-12-2024
- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
