The semi-final line-up is complete at the World Series of Darts Finals with Rob Cross completing proceedings with a 10-8 victory over Michael Smith.
Cross who has struggled for form as of late had no such issues against Smith hitting a 98.6 average, six 180's and four ton plus checkouts.
Smith opened up proceedings with a 180 but Cross hit a 116 checkout to get the first leg on the board. It was the former's doubles especially in the early part of the tie which blighted him.
He was down at 0/5 as Cross was allowed to help himself to a 2-0 lead. Cross head into a 3-1 lead despite being outplayed by Smith barring doubles.
Smith came back into the tie and claimed three legs on the spin to make it 4-3. Cross hit a 107 checkout to get it back to parity.
Smith's doubling woes continued though as he was down at 22% with Cross taking advantage to make it 6-4. Smith reduced the deficit to 7-5 and he hit a 110 checkout to once again attempt to get back into the tie at 7-6 down.
Their back and forth continued with Smith breaking back to claim parity at 8-8 but Cross took out 92 for an 11-darter to break back and go one away and from there, he concluded the tie 10-8.

- 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

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
