Van der Voort moves into first ranked major quarter-final in over four years
PDCSaturday, 26 October 2019 at 19:21
Vincent van der Voort is the next player into the Quarter-Finals at the European Championship with victory over Chris Dobey. The former UK Open finalist reached his first PDC ranked major quarter-final since the World Grand Prix 2015.
Van der Voort pounced on poor missed doubles from his opponent to claim victory in an excellent performance and with the field being blown wide open, could it be The Dutch Destroyer’s time?
The Dutchman started proceedings brilliantly racing into a 4-1 lead over Dobey by the interval pouncing on multiple darts at doubles from ‘Hollywood’.
Dobey returned from the interval and smashed in a 150 checkout to trail 4-2 and potentially ask the question of The Dutch Destroyer. His doubles were blighting him though with him down at 2/9 which allowed Van der Voort to move 5-2 up.
A 110 checkout saw him go 6-2 up and potentially go on the verge of the Quarter-Finals. This was confounded with him 7-3 up at the next interval. A theme of this tie was that when Dobey countered back, Van der Voort stormed further clear. He went 9-5 up after further missed darts from Dobey and he concluded the tie from there to move through.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- 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
