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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
