    Mad stuff. Replaced by Whitlock and De Zwaan.

    De Zwaan has been truly awful lately too.

    Standard in Suljovic and Divingboard game was very poor. The double in/out makes it exciting as anything can happen

    Jamie Hughes is painfully slow, it's like watching Pipe throw. Surprised this is the last match, not the most exciting of line ups

    I don't think best of 3 sets is particularly fair in the last 32 of a 'major'.
    It can be game over with a leg score of 6-4 against you. Even in the UK Open (traditionally the one for shocks), its best of 19 legs at the last 64 stage.
    The 'upsets' are fun, but you wouldn't really bat an eyelid at a lot of these results if they were in a best of 11 leg game on the pro-tour.

    Best of 5 sets would be better, or even best of 4 sets with a single leg tiebreaker if 2-2 in sets.

    Dmitri in a spot of bother here, messed up some straight forward 2 darters and allowed Van Duijvenbode to nick a few legs to go 2-0 up. Credit to Duijvenbode whos been solid on his doubles

    Devon Peterson plays a star in the first set, missed d16 and d8 to win it on MvG's throw then whaddya know MvG swoops in and nicks in. Just like the MvG of old, able to apply the pressure just when needed
    Peterson went to crap then, easy win in the end for MvG

    Chisnall still a decent price . Don't think he'll win it but worth an each way punt with his draw

    UK Open also runs across a lot more boards than the single board here, so they can dedicate more time to a single match while keeping the overall tournament length down.

    That was shocking from Joyce, 7 match darts to get to a very winnable QF.

    On an unrelated note, that shirt does absolutely nothing for Part

    Joyce let me down last night 2-0 up and match darts!! Cullen made me sweat on another bet,were he was 2-0 up and nearly blew it.
    3 hot favourites tonight in Anderson,MVG,Price and a warm fav in Chisnall,not as clear cut for me tonight,and see at least two possible upsets.

    I wouldn't doubt someone backing DvD to beat Anderson. Not a huge shock Dirk throwing great stuff all year and Anderson never does well with the double start.

    Since I backed chizzy outright he has given me 2 heat attacks. Still confident he gets to the final
