The first session of the German Darts Open is now over. Dylan Slevin, Mike De Decker and Cameron Menzies were the last three players to qualify for the second round this afternoon.
De Decker, who has been on a roll all year, had little trouble with Patrik Kovacs. The first two legs were split, but then De Decker won five legs in a row and thus the match. In the second round, he will face José de Sousa tomorrow.
Dylan Slevin also dented the return of Dutch-Swede, Jeffrey de Graaf. The latter showed character and came back to 4-4, but in the end, Slevin won 6-4 with a monstrous 142 checkout to win.
In the last match of the afternoon session, Cameron Menzies was too strong for Darius Labanauskas winning 6-5. After recent form, it wasn't Menzies' A game, but he did enough averaging 90 with four 180's against a player in no form at all and fading fast on the PDC Tour.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
