European Tour 2018

[Bram_1900]

A ridiculous display of consistent high standard from MVG, dont think we have seen around three 110 averages in a row?

Really ?

Taylor destroyed that in a televised comp - the european championships in 2009
Round 1 beat Toon Greebe with a 111.03
Round 2 beat Thornton with a 110.88
Round 3 beat Ando with a 118.14
Semi Final beat Klaasen with a 109.36
Final beat Beaton with a 109.35

Steve Beaton in the final of a major. This was some beautiful day.

Good to see Kist in again.

[ChrisW]

I thought Toon. Had a leg amputated fair play to him to still be playing if he did

Foot, but yes incredible that he is already playing at this standard.

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN will begin his bid to win a fifth successive Dutch Darts Masters title on Saturday in Zwolle against either Mike De Decker or Terry Jenkins.

World number one Van Gerwen has enjoyed remarkable success in the PDC European Tour's recent visits to the Netherlands, winning each title since 2014.

Van Gerwen claimed his third European Tour win in five events so far this year at last weekend's European Darts Grand Prix, and begins his bid for another title on Saturday night at the second round stage.

Belgian youngster De Decker and vastly experienced Jenkins will clash in one of 16 first round ties on Friday at the IJsselhallen in Zwolle.

Last weekend's Sindelfingen runner-up, James Wade, plays Spain's Cristo Reyes, while Jonny Clayton - a European Tour winner last month - meets Josh Payne.

Former European Tour event winners Adrian Lewis and Steve Beaton will play Host Nation Qualifiers Jan Dekker and Jeffrey de Graaf respectively.

Dutchman Christian Kist takes on Kyle Anderson while Jermaine Wattimena's reward for qualification on Thursday night was a tie with Adam Huckvale, a PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour event winner last weekend.

The Dutch Darts Masters will be broadcast throughout the weekend for PDCTV-HD Subscribers , and through a series of bookmakers' websites worldwide.

rob cross pulls out so Lennon gets a bye into the last 16

Tweet from Rob Cross explaining his withdrawal:

Unfortunately I’ve had to pull out of the Dutch Darts Masters.
I’ve had chest pains for a few weeks and after consulting doc in Aberdeen last night, I’ve damaged cartilage in my sternum. I need to get a scan early next week and rest before the O2.
Apologies to the fans in Zwolle. https://t.co/y3JIObWme4

[ChrisW]

Lewis averaging low 80's. Not doing great in the ETs this year.

[ChrisW]

Impressive crowd in for a Friday evening.

[ssjsa]

Dekker played well and a deserved winner.

Adie on the other hand was poor and spraying his darts all over the place.

[Lee Taylor]

Dekker played well and a deserved winner.

Adie on the other hand was poor and spraying his darts all over the place.

What is the general consensus on Lewis - just off form, or has his game gone?

[ChrisW]

Come on Cristo! Take James for an early bath

See Cammy hasn't entered the qualifiers. Hope he hasn't forgotten again.

[ssjsa]

Chisnall not entering ET8 allows Hendo in as a seed.

[Mgt]

Dekker played well and a deserved winner.

Adie on the other hand was poor and spraying his darts all over the place.

What is the general consensus on Lewis - just off form, or has his game gone?

Can't imagine his game being completely gone, he's too much of a natural for that. Think it's a matter of getting things straight in the head for Adrian.
