Noppert did like what his opponent did in the last round by displaying his battling qualities. He saw off the Scot 6-4 coming back from 4-2 down to book his spot in the Last Eight with a 92 average and 50% on the doubles.
Ratajski on the other hand took out Dave Chisnall who is top seed this weekend in Jena. It was a 6-2 win for 'The Polish Eagle' who soared through with an 89 average and 6/18 on the outer ring compared to a poor 20% from his opponent who faltered on the doubles.

During each Euro Tour tournament, £175,000 in prize money is distributed. All qualifiers are guaranteed £1,250, while the top 16 players on the placement list at the German Darts Open will receive £2,500 anyway. However, these 16 players must win their first game in the second round for the prize money to actually count toward the world rankings and other rankings.
