Nathan Aspinall and Josh Rock won the final two matches of the afternoon session on Saturday at the International Darts Open in Riesa.
Rock was too strong in a 6-4 win against Florian Hempel. In terms of scoring, the Northern Irishman was much better than Hempel, including five 180 scores, but Rock did not have his sights set on the doubles (6/23).
Rock missed two chances to lead 3-1, after which Hempel made it 2-2 with a 48 finish. Rock then missed three chances to make it 3-2 and also three chances to make it 3-3. This gave Hempel a 4-2 lead, but then Rock threw two 15-darters to equalize. With a 15-darter and a 13-darter, Rock then went up-and-over for a 6-4 win.
Aspinall proved too good for Mario Vandenbogaerde. The Asp took the first two legs and then ran out to a 5-1 lead. Vandenbogaerde hit 84 for 5-2, but then Aspinall decided the match with a 13-darter.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
