Richard Veenstra's poor run on the European Tour continues after being dumped out by Dalibor Smolik in the opening round who showed glimmers last week against Chris Dobey but is on home turf this weekend at the Czech Darts Open.
Smolik was one of the Czech winners at the Host Nation Qualifier on Thursday and showed why against Veenstra.
With an average of 91 and a finishing percentage of no less than 85.7 percent, he beat the experienced Veenstra 6-4.
Mario Vandenbogaerde was too strong for Matt Campbell after a cracker. The Belgian survived two match darts in the 10th leg and then struck in the 11th leg with a 60 finish for the match.
Dylan Slevin also qualified for the second round in Prague at the expense of Filip Sebesta (6-3) in front of a heavily partisan crowd.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
