Ross Smith has qualified for the last sixteen at the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy. 'Smudger' defeated Raymond van Barneveld 6-2 in the second round and will now face Ricardo Pietreczko.
Smith put in a very strong performance against 'Barney', ending up just under the 100 average mark. "Ray let me in early on and to be honest, I was lucky. That doesn't happen often in this game either so I count my blessings," Smith said in his post-match interview afterwards. "I did the job I needed to do, but I didn't feel like it was a great game."
The second-seeded Ross Smith in action
As mentioned, Smith will now take on Ricardo Pietreczko in the next round. "Ricardo is a great player, but if I'm honest, I didn't even know who I was playing. I wasn't looking any further than Raymond," Smith says. "But yeah, Ricardo is a great player. But so am I when I turn up. So he's going to have to play well to beat me."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
