Rampant Rock defeats Humphries to seal Last 16 clash with Van Gerwen at Grand Slam of Darts

Josh Rock has joined Luke Humphries in the Last 16 of the Grand Slam of Darts from Group H with a superb victory from the Northern Irish talent underlining why he has come into the tournament on debut among the favourites.
Rock needed three legs to qualify after Scott Williams produced an epic display to keep himself involved even walking round the venue instead of remaining in the practice room to balance his nerves.
'Shaggy' hit a 107.5 average and six 180's to end Ryan Searle's hopes and all eyes were then on the two forerunners with Humphries already through anyway.
To begin the tie, it was edgy as Rock missed four darts to get a second leg on the board and Humphries swept up to lead 2-1.
Rock finally got that second leg going 3-2 down and hit a 121 checkout to claim the third leg he needed with a wild celebration which was due to the magnitude of the situation which he soon apologised for.
From there, it was a freeroll and Rock went on to seal it 5-3 and will now have the task of another of the world's top players in Michael van Gerwen but can he step up to the plate over the longer format?

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- 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
