Rydz produces stunning comeback and 170 finish to knock out Cross at World Matchplay

Callan Rydz has made it to the Quarter-Finals in his debut year at the World Matchplay in Blackpool. The Riot was surprisingly too strong for former champion Rob Cross in the second round.
Rydz had already beaten Glen Durrant (10-6) in the first round, but was not convincing in that match. Again, the Newcastle ace did not start the match well.
Cross took a fairly easy 5-2 lead, but failed to widen the gap. The former world champion missed two chances to make it 6-2 and missed three darts to make it 6-3. That gave Rydz the opportunity to fight his way back into the match and a 14-darter in the tenth leg suddenly levelled the score.
After the second break Rydz took control. With brilliant finishes of 89 and 92 Rydz suddenly had a break ahead. Double 4 made it 9-6 for the 23-year-old, who won his first ranking title at the beginning of the season.
Cross seemed to fight back for a moment and brought the deficit back to 9-8 with a 132 finish and a 14-darter. But Rydz was not impressed, as he then threw in the first 170 check-out of the tournament. Rydz then needed just one more leg and immediately seized his opportunity with a 60 finish for the match.
𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗨𝗧 ❌ Callan Rydz is into the quarter-finals of the World Matchplay after eliminating former Champion Rob Cross with an 11-8 victory! The biggest moment of this young man's career 👏

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
