Ratajski and Van den Bergh narrowly through as Quarter-Final line-up set at German Darts Open

The Quarter-Final line-up is confirmed at the German Darts Open with Krzysztof Ratajski set to face Dimitri van den Bergh on Sunday evening in Jena.
But it was a tale of two games which went all the way to deciders and could have gone either way with Rob Cross and Luke Woodhouse losing out in the end.
Ratajski stumbled over the line against 'Voltage' 6-5 in a cagey tie which like the game after was dominated by missed darts at double with 35 in all between the pair. Sent all the way to a decider, Ratajski left 32 with Cross only leaving 139.
But Ratajski promptly missed seven darts for the match and even handed Cross some before he finally took out double eight to seal it.

While Van den Bergh had sheer relief etched upon his face as he took down Woodhouse and effectively also ended his European Championship chances.
To start the tie, Woodhouse broke back at 1-1 with a 121 checkout on the bull and went 4-1 up from there but the tables were turned on his next throw as Van den Bergh hit 108 to make it 4-3 before consolidating for parity.
Woodhouse went one away and had the throw in the decider but despite a 180, an 11-dart 84 break sealed it for Van den Bergh.

- 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
