A block-buster Quarter-Final is set at the German Darts Open, with Josh Rock set to face Dirk van Duijvenbode later this evening in Riesa after two superb ties.
Rock was near perfect as he took down Ryan Searle. In a literal sense as he went seven darts into a nine-dart finish coming from 3-2 down to level up.
It was a 98 average and five 180s in the end for Rock in another polished display. After making it 3-3, it was a game of cat and mouse as they both exchanged the lead with Rock sealing it first with a 79 checkout at 5-4, but Searle sent it all the way. Another maximum though at a pivotal time saw Rock move through.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
