I thought there might be a bigger crowd in today, doesn't look like it though. Great win for Jamie Lewis, it's always good to see the underdogs doing well.

[foggs3355]

it was same yesterday afternoon but it was better in the evening but i think it would be better to play this in march not so hot outside then maybe more people would watch in the afternoon

[Bram_1900]

These Euro Tour are become more and more the tournaments of the underdogs. No longer are the player championships the tournaments that decide whether a player goes to the WMP or not, but it are these tournaments. Is that a positive development?

[Duterprat]

Pipe still hanging in there.
All the seeds having a difficult afternoon so far and Part/Thornton even lost their games, i think none of them suits the early time of play.

Hendo falls over the line, he seems to have a problem with getting that last leg. I remember a wee while back him losing after being 5-2 up...

get in Mr Brown coming back into form lately

[Zeyes]

These Euro Tour are become more and more the tournaments of the underdogs. No longer are the player championships the tournaments that decide whether a player goes to the WMP or not, but it are these tournaments. Is that a positive development?

Isn't that just a result of the front-loaded European Tour schedule? 5x ET and 3x PC weekends before the Matchplay, but 3x ET and 5x PC weekends afterwards.

[Chizzyfan]

Liking Hendo's chances for qualifying for the worlds. Especially with another two wins in this tournament.

[Zeyes]

I do have to say, if the PDC is willing to run a European Tour event in front of so few people in Gibraltar, they might as well try having one in Belgium, Denmark, etc. that normally aren't considered to have enough of a population base. It could hardly be less of a success, and the upside is that it might do surprisingly well.

Could be, but the payment the players get for getting into round 3 for example makes a huge difference. It's 'only' (spoken with all due respect) winning two matches. You can make one big jump with a good Euro Tour weekend and that pretty much seals your place at a tv-tournament.

[Chizzyfan]

Emphatic win for Chizzy.. Poor Payne just couldn't keep up!

Got a feeling Ross may beat Adrian but Jabba may have too much for him on current form.
