Rob Cross defies nine-dart Luke Humphries to take title at Baltic Sea Darts Open

Rob Cross has walked away with the title at the Baltic Sea Darts Open. 'Voltage' saw his opponent Luke Humphries throw a nine-darter, but the final victory went 8-6 to Cross.
Humphries had earlier in the evening defeated Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. Cross had dealt with Maik Kuivenhoven (6-2), Stephen Bunting (6-5), Ritchie Edhouse (6-5) and Madars Razma (7-4) on his way to the final.
In the final, Cross raced into a 3-2 lead, but that was followed by a strong acceleration from Humphries. The reigning world champion equalized with a 68 finish and then took over the lead with an 11-darter and a 9-darter. Cross seemed unimpressed, however, and broke 'Cool Hand Luke' back with an 11-darter. He then threw a 15-darter to level the score again.
A 15-darter then brought Humphries back into the lead, but he missed a chance to double his lead to 7-5 via double 15. Instead, it became 6-6 after Cross hit the double 8. Then 'Voltage' was unleashed with two consecutive 12-darters, allowing Cross to lift the cup in Kiel.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- 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

- 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
