Dimitri van den Bergh and Danny Noppert were the first two players to qualify for the last eight at the Poland Darts Masters in Warsaw on Friday night.
With an average of 105, Van den Bergh threw an excellent match, yet 'The Dreammaker' had to make up an early deficit against Karel Sedlacek.
The Czech ace got ahead 3-0, but with a 13-darter, 14-darter, and a 110 finish, the Belgian came back to 3-3. Via a 13-darter, 11-darter and a 94 finish Van den Bergh eventually put a 6-4 final score on the scoreboard.
Noppert led 3-0 himself in his match against Radek Szaganski. The latter reduced the deficit to 3-2, but with a 12 finish Noppert made it 4-2. In the end, he won 6-2 against his Polish opponent.

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
