Devon Petersen has continued his form with a straight sets victory over Jose de Sousa on his World Grand Prix debut defying eight 180’s in a thrilling encounter.
Petersen swept to the opening set 3-1 after De Sousa had initially claimed the impetus to begin proceedings. A 13-darter saw Petersen go one up in the second set but De Sousa hit two 180’s and a 61 checkout to go 2-1 up with a break of throw.
He couldn’t conclude the set initially though despite hitting a sixth 180 but he missed double 12 for a 144 and Petersen forced a decider.
It was a decider which he claimed with a 15 darter in which he hit a 93 checkout on the bullseye with De Sousa sat on 40 for the set.
Mervyn King is also through after claiming a straight sets victory to see over two-time champion James Wade to continue his impressive form from Hildesheim with four 180’s to his name en route.
King made an impressive start against Wade hitting ¾ on his finishing doubles to claim the opening set 3-1 and despite it being tied up at 1-1 in the requisite set, he continued this into the second.
A 14-darter saw him go one away from victory and a 66 checkout last dart in hand on double 18 saw him claim it with Wade sat on a 65 checkout to level the tie up and force a decider.

- 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
