Van Gerwen clinches Rock thriller in deciding leg as Czech dream ends with Cross denying Sedlacek

The first Quarter-Final is set at the Czech Darts Open with Michael van Gerwen set to face a familiar rival in Rob Cross on Sunday evening in Prague.
Van Gerwen after being whitewashed by Rock two weeks ago has had his number since then meeting him twice and beating him twice, albeit today was less comfortable for 'The Green Machine' who had to find an incredible leg when he needed it most.
As ever he did, Van Gerwen was sent to a decider and pinned an 11-darter to move through 6-5. Albeit, this was after Van Gerwen could've won it more comfortably going 4-2 up on 'Rocky' but a 158 checkout fired the latter into gear who sent it all the way.
While Rock's dream is over, so is the thought of a Czech winner with 'Evil Charlie' Karel Sedlacek sent packing in the opener as he was seen off by Rob Cross.
It was a 96.5 average and a high checkout of 145 for Cross as he moved through at the expense of the home favourite. But can 'Voltage' also dump out the likely favourite for the title in MVG or will the latter improve his superb head to head record.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
