The Quarter-Final line-up is complete at the Belgian Darts Championship with Gerwyn Price set to take on Mensur Suljovic after two brilliant displays.

Price in particular was the pick of the bunch due to the scoreline averaging 103.3 in a 6-0 whitewash win against Jamie Hughes. This included 42 percent (6/14) on the doubles; as well as three 180's.
Hughes himself didn't play poorly averaging 101 but only had two shots at double missing both to gain a foothold in the contest.
Suljovic himself rounded out the Quarter-Final line-up and nearly made it a perfect display. He wired double 18 for a nine-darter as the first one is elusive after Michael van Gerwen came so close yesterday.
He dispelled that though by hitting a 136 checkout to lead 3-2. West kept with him and levelled it up at 4-4 with a 106 checkout.
Despite that though, 'The Gentle' surged to victory with a 103.5 and six 180's in a brilliant end to the afternoon's play.
