Mike de Decker posted a brilliant result at the Belgian Darts Open on Saturday night by beating Michael Smith in front of the Belgian's home crowd. It was 6-2 for 'The Real Deal' against the former world champion.
Decker quickly took the initiative against the world number three by breaking Smith twice in the first three legs. Smith then posted one rebreak by tallying 1-3 via a 15-darter.
A 76 finish brought Smith back to 2-3, but "Bullyboy" then missed a chance for the equalizer. De Decker made it 4-2 via double 2 and then threw out 112 for 5-2. Decker then managed to finish it off with a 14-darter.
Earlier in the evening, Ryan Joyce had surprisingly reached the last sixteen at the expense of Dave Chisnall in Wieze. After an exciting match, the victory went 6-5 to 'Relentless', who saw Chisnall miss one matchdart in the final leg.

- 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

- 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
