PDCSaturday, 27 April 2024 at 18:00
Saturday night it's time for the big guns at the Austrian Darts Open. Among others, Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler will be in action in Graz.
Van Gerwen and Jeffrey De Zwaan face each other at a Euro Tour tournament for the second time this year. They also met in Munich at the German Darts Grand Prix. Then Van Gerwen won 6-4 from his compatriot after a 5-1 lead.
Raymond van Barneveld will take on Ross Smith after his hard-fought 6-5 victory over Mike de Decker. Smith lost to Gary Anderson in the final of the International Darts Open last week. It will be only the second meeting between Smith and Van Barneveld. 'Smudger' managed to win the only previous showdown in November 2023, 6-2.
After the elimination of De Decker, Dimitri van den Bergh must keep up the Belgian honor in Graz. 'The Dreammaker' narrowly defeated Gabriel Clemens on Friday and will now take on Josh Rock.
The evening kicks off with a German clash between Ricardo Pietreczko and Martin Schindler. After that, another German appears on stage. Daniel Klose was called up as a replacement for the injured Gerwyn Price. He will meet former UK Open champion Andrew Gilding.
Peter Wright will play in the second round against Danny Lauby, who recorded an instant win on Friday on his Euro Tour debut. Jonny Clayton lays on against Chris Dobey for a spot in the last sixteen, while the last game of the second round is between Luke Littler and Damon Heta.

- 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
