Simon Whitlock is through to the Quarter-Finals at the New South Wales Darts Masters after raising the roof in Wollongong sealing a fifth straight win over Michael van Gerwen.
Van Gerwen won in Townsville but will not be adding to his tally in Australia after being dumped out by 'The Wizard' in a last leg decider.
Missed doubles were a theme in the opening exchanges as Whitlock moved 2-1 up on MVG. But the latter soon led after Whitlock missed double 20 for a 105 checkout.
But it was the Dutchman's time to miss a dart at the double for a ton plus checkout with 130 going begging and Whitlock returned for double 10 at 4-4.
Van Gerwen made it five consecutive breaks of throw and looked to break the resolve of Whitlock as he went one away. But he missed a match dart and Whitlock saved his skin with an 88 checkout making it 5-5.
A superb decider for Whitlock though saw the Aussie ace hit a 74 checkout to seal it and send the crowd into raptures.
While Dimitri van den Bergh completed the line-up after seeing off DPA Qualifier, Raymond O'Donnell 6-3.
It was a win that Van den Bergh eventually sealed after initially going 5-0 up book ended with a 126 checkout but O'Donnell hit back with an 82 checkout before pouncing on missed match darts to make for an interesting conclusion to the tie.
But with O'Donnell only leaving 110 in a poor leg, Van den Bergh sealed it finally on double 16.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
