Well played Sousa.

[mattp]

Lovely stuff

[Duterprat]

wow, that was some display from de Sousa. Happy for him, and also glad that MvG did not stumble to the title on his C-game (at least for most of the tournament).

[Gruntface]

Quality performance in the final. Not many could have competed with that. Well done Jose.

MVG used to have players half beaten before the match but not any more. Not for a while now.

When I've got to chose between around 6 EUR/month and malware polluted crap streams the decision is not that hard. I honestly wonder how people won't afford that, while they probably guzzle down pints worth the annual subscription price every time they chuck some darts in the pub or at a tournament.

MVG drilled, there
A joy to witness

Jose is a ludicrous talent and it’s good to see him win and get into the GSOD.

Also a very good weekend for Darius which puts him in both the EC and the Worlds.

Agreed. Great addition to the Slam.

Some poor games this afternoon, very few good performances. And Wade insisted on shaking hands with everyone yet again!! Is he immune from everything going on, is he not aware?!?!

Aware of what?

We're experiencing a pandemic!! No players are shaking hands, but he insists on it!! It's idiotic things like that which can create super-spreading, so nonsensical yet so basic!!

I thought all players have tested negative for the flu bug.so why cant they shake hands

[ILAD]

Dr Oche

[Bomber]

Jose the latest player realising that since Michael van Gutless lost his confidence he is just another twitching bottle job and when pressured will fall apart like cheap toilet paper, no wonder Barney is coming back

[Bomber]

There are many millionaires with big houses and just like Michael van Gutless whose arsehole fell out sometime last year, they'll be winning feck all darts tournaments in future either, except they probably aren't gibbering green bottle jobs as well.

Bit of a cockwomble aren't you?

[ILAD]

Stran have a bet mate, it will calm you down.

You seem like a bit of a prat on here. ILAD what a shit username

Do you know what it means?

[ChrisW]

I always presumed it was a tribute to Ad Schoofs.

I Love All Darts

Although its incorrect as I'm not interested in the 'female' side.

Some parts of Germany are going into lockdown. I wonder how long the fans will be allowed to attend these.

Gerwyn Price will begin his quest for a third consecutive International Darts Open title against either Mario Vandenbogaerde or Ross Smith, with the draw and schedule of play confirmed for this weekend's European Tour event.

Price picked up his first European Tour success at the event in 2018 before repeating the feat in 2019, and the Welshman will await the winner of Vandenbogaerde versus Smith, one of 16 first round contest to take place on Friday.

The year's fourth and final European Tour event will be played in front of fans at the Sachsenarena in Riesa from October 23-25, with players battling to make it into the top 32 of the European Tour Order of Merit to qualify for the European Championship.

Former European Tour event winner and German number one Max Hopp will face Jelle Klaasen in the stand-out tie of round one, while Steve West takes on Toni Alcinas in a crucial game in the race to qualify for the European Championship.

The 16 seeded players will enter at the second round stage on Saturday, headlined by the world's top two Michael van Gerwen and Price as well as last weekend's European Darts Grand Prix winner Jose De Sousa.

From the original field of players Kyle Anderson, Peter Wright, Glen Durrant, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Ryan Murray and Niels Zonneveld have withdrawn.

De Sousa and Stephen Bunting - who is returning to action alongside Adrian Lewis this weekend - become seeded players, and six additional Host Nation Qualifiers come into the event.

The line-up for the International Darts Open will be completed on Thursday night, with eight places up for grabs at the Host Nation Qualifier - click here to follow live scores, results and stats from the qualifier through DartConnect.

The European Darts Grand Prix will be broadcast through PDCTV as well as through a series of bookmakers' websites worldwide - click here to subscribe to PDCTV.
