The first two Quarter-Finalists have been confirmed at the Austrian Darts Championship with Vincent van der Voort and Cameron Menzies through in Vienna after easing through.

Van der Voort smashed Gerwyn Price in a 6-1 win; it is a first victory for 'The Dutch Destroyer' against 'The Iceman' with a 103 average and 6/9 on the doubles in a near complete performance.
He went into a 3-1 lead averaging 105.6 and at one point, he was 5/5 on the doubles towards the end at 5-1 up. In the end, he missed a few doubles when he won the match but it still didn't affect a brilliant performance.
Menzies similarly was brilliant against Adrian Lewis also winning 6-2 to continue his brilliant run and reach a maiden European Tour Quarter-Final.
He had a great start to proceedings moving 2-1 up on Adrian Lewis with a 13 darter capping this off and he added to that with a 122 checkout on the bull.
He surged to a 4-1 lead with a 98 average and 4/7 on the doubles and despite Lewis hitting a 180, the Scot hit tops to go within a leg of victory.
Lewis stopped the rot but it was too much of a mountain to climb and in the end, Menzies claimed the victory with a 94 average and 50 percent on the doubles.
