Michael van Gerwen has qualified for the last sixteen at the European Darts Open at the expense of Raymond van Barneveld. 'Mighty Mike' won the Double Dutch clash at the European Tour tournament in Leverkusen 6-4.
Both Dutchmen showed excellent levels. Van Gerwen reached an average of 108, compared to 98 for Van Barneveld, who did go 4/7 on the doubles. The only mistake Van Barneveld made, however was fatal. In the 10th leg, 'Barney' was broken after spurning chances to hold and this proved to be his undoing.
Ricardo Pietreczko caused a shock but delight for the home crowd by eliminating Peter Wright. The two-time world champion missed six matchdarts before Pietreczko managed to take his second match dart to send the crowd into raptures.

- 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
