Baetens hit a 96 checkout to go 2-0 up but Tricole hit back with a 76 to make it 2-1 only for Baetens to hit back with a 15-darter.

To begin the fourth set, they exchanged holds with Tricole hitting a 120 checkout to make it 1-1. Baetens hit double nine to go 2-1 up and one away from a 3-1 sets lead.

An 80 checkout though saw Tricole make it 2-2 and after another handful of set darts, Tricole levelled again and took the lead from there. After going 2-0 down, Tricole fought again with a 14-darter to break en route to sealing the win.

While Rhian O'Sullivan has surged into the semi-finals after storming past Maria O'Brien in a straight sets win with four 180's and an 89 average.

O’Brien hit a 135 to begin the tie as she bounced back from a tumble. O’Sullivan hit back but couldn’t hold and O’Brien broke to go 2-1 up.
