Dirk van Duijvenbode has reached the quarterfinals at the International Darts Open at the expense of Danny Noppert.
Van Duijvenbode was in a class of his own on the scoring, including eight 180s. Noppert, however, did a lot better on the finishes (71 to 35 percent), keeping the match exciting until the end.
In the first leg, Van Duijvenbode threw a 12-darter, but then Noppert already issued a warning with a handsome 122 finish. Van Duijvenbode then missed six chances for 2-1, after which Noppert did find the double. Two more breaks followed, before Van Duijvenbode scored 3-3 with an 11-darter.
A 14-darter and a 46 finish took 'Aubergenius' to 5-4 before Noppert had a chance to force a deciding leg on his own leg. He succeeded via double 10 after Van Duijvenbode missed two matchdarts. In the last leg Van Duijvenbode finished it off with a 14-darter.
In the quarterfinals Van Duijvenbode will meet Damon Heta, who was too strong for home hero Niko Springer 6-3.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
