While James Wade struggled past Dirk van Duijvenbode in a 6-3 win. He only averaged 80 with two 180's and 25% on the doubles. A 75 average from 'The Titan' saw his poor form continue.
Van Duijvenbode had already skipped some Pro Tour tournaments in recent weeks because of his shoulder injury. That this injury has not yet been resolved quickly became clear. Wade seemed to be sucked into Van Duijvenbode's level as a result.
As a result, Van Duijvenbode still had prospects of victory for some time, as the score was still 3-3 after six legs. A 21-darter by Wade gave the eleven-time major winner a 4-3 lead. Wade then easily cruised to a 6-3 victory.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- 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 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
