Moments later Van Veen also took a 3-2 lead with a 72 finish. Van Veen was not out in six visits in the following leg, and lost his break. Cross then managed to take over the lead with a 68 check-out for 4-3. The next three legs went with the darts, requiring a final leg. Cross was allowed to start the final leg, but was not out in five visits. Van Veen could not take advantage from 105, after which Cross took the win via double 4.
For Clemens, it was a contest with Dirk van Duijvenbode who could not hold his own the German. 'Aubergenius' did not play a good match and recorded an average of only 83.79.

- 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
