Thought Luke held it together in that 4th set.

Some of the younger and lower ranked players reaping the benefit of stage matches on the European Tour.

Humphries was a completely different player to the one that lost last year to Jeff Smith in a pre- lim.

Not overly convincing from Dobey but some important finishes from him

Dobey cruising so far. Let's hope Beaton can dig deep and make a match of the 3rd set.

Only bets for me so far have been Michael Smith to win e/w at 14/1 and Maliccdem to beat De Graaf at 11/5 , but tonight will be my third bet and have got King to beat Dekker at 4/5.

Edit- Think I picked Dekker to beat King in the Prediction Competition. Don't know why as for me Mervyn is a huge favourite.

Just got Reyes to win the match at 21/10 with Corals. Just before Rowby missed the dart to go 2-0 up in sets. 4th bet of the WC for me.

Edit- Not looking so good now.

Doubles costing Rowby that match. Cristo will need to play a lot better if he is to trouble Cross in the last 32.

Post by **ssjsa** » Thu Dec 20, 2018 8:38 pm

Great 127 checkout from Dekker.

Jan is normally a very good finisher, so if he can keep up with Mervyn on the scoring, may have a chance of winning the match.

An 87.10 average for the entire 1st Round is pretty solid.

Thought you might be gutted Steve.

Another great match.

Tonight has outperformed the afternoon session by some way.

Post by **Mensur Suljovic Fan** » Thu Dec 20, 2018 9:39 pm

I don't know what it is, but something about Mervyn King seems way more depressing to me than Steve Beaton sigh

Pretty straight forward win for Aidy there.

Given that they both go through, could be a fantastic Last 16 matchup between him and MVG.
