OK, how I'll do it is a couple of boards at a time, then the last sixteen, let's go:
Board 1:
Michael van Gerwen 6-4 Matt Edgar
Krzysztof Kciuk 6-4 Darren Webster
Simon Stevenson 6-2 Keegan Brown
Geert Nentjes 6-2 Madars Razma
Michael van Gerwen 6-3 Krzysztof Kciuk
Geert Nentjes 6-5 Simon Stevenson
Michael van Gerwen 6-3 Geert Nentjes
Board 2:
Jamie Hughes 6-0 Daniel Larsson
Ted Evetts 6-1 Bradley Brooks
Jelle Klaasen 6-5 Adrian Lewis
Scott Baker 6-1 Yordi Meeuwisse
Jamie Hughes 6-4 Ted Evetts
Jelle Klaasen 6-0 Scott Baker
Jamie Hughes 6-1 Jelle Klaasen
Both the high seeds come through this one, earlier winner Nentjes not being able to take out the three time world champ.
Board 3:
Krzysztof Ratajski 6-0 Wesley Harms
Karel Sedlacek 6-5 Ciaran Teehan
Mervyn King 6-1 Josh Payne
Mike van Duivenbode 6-5 Steve Brown
Krzysztof Ratajski 6-0 Karel Sedlacek
Mike van Duivenbode 6-5 Mervyn King
Mike van Duivenbode 6-5 Krzysztof Ratajski
Board 4:
Jeffrey de Zwaan 6-2 Willie O'Connor
John Michael 6-5 Devon Petersen
Jan Dekker 6-3 Stephen Bunting
Ryan Searle 6-2 Adam Hunt
John Michael 6-5 Jeffrey de Zwaan
Ryan Searle 6-3 Jan Dekker
Ryan Searle 6-4 John Michael
After a bad first weekend it looked like Ratajski had found his form, but no, three straight deciding legs for Mike van Duivenbode propels him into the last sixteen, where he'll meet recent real life Pro Tour winner Ryan Searle, avoiding seeds to date as de Zwaan and Bunting are dumped out early.
Board 5:
James Wade 6-2 Carl Wilkinson
Jason Lowe 6-4 Joe Murnan
Simon Whitlock 6-3 Kim Huybrechts
Derk Telnekes 6-0 Nathan Derry
James Wade 6-4 Jason Lowe
Derk Telnekes 6-2 Simon Whitlock
Derk Telnekes 6-4 James Wade
Board 6:
Joe Cullen 6-4 Ross Smith
Dave Pallett 6-3 Robert Thornton
Jonny Clayton 6-0 Antonio Alcinas
Jamie Lewis 6-5 Ryan Meikle
Dave Pallett 6-5 Joe Cullen
Jonny Clayton 6-0 Jamie Lewis
Jonny Clayton 6-2 Dave Pallett
The in form Telnekes wins the board with a couple of impressive wins over seeds, while Cullen did get on the board after a tough first round draw but then fell in a decider to Dave Pallett, allowing the Ferret to coast to a board win.
Board 7:
Peter Wright 6-4 Gavin Carlin
Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-0 Adrian Gray
Justin Pipe 6-1 Ryan Joyce
Jonathan Worsley 6-2 Reece Robinson
Peter Wright 6-2 Dirk van Duijvenbode
Jonathan Worsley 6-3 Justin Pipe
Peter Wright 6-0 Jonathan Worsley
Board 8:
Michael Smith 6-2 Kirk Shepherd
Maik Kuivenhoven 6-1 Alan Tabern
Danny Noppert 6-0 Jesus Noguera
Ryan Murray 6-5 Scott Waites
Maik Kuivenhoven 6-5 Michael Smith
Danny Noppert 6-4 Ryan Murray
Danny Noppert 6-0 Maik Kuivenhoven
The world champ had a potential banana skin in DvD but dealt with the threat easily enough, while Smith got edged out by the impressive early season form from Kuivenhoven, only for him to run out of steam and get trounced by the oft-underrated Noppert.
Board 9:
Gerwyn Price 6-0 Peter Jacques
Kyle Anderson 6-5 Michael Barnard
Rowby John Rodriguez 6-5 Chris Dobey
Harry Ward 6-3 James Wilson
Kyle Anderson 6-3 Gerwyn Price
Rowby John Rodriguez 6-5 Harry Ward
Rowby John Rodriguez 6-4 Kyle Anderson
Board 10:
Rob Cross 6-0 Barrie Bates
Steve West 6-0 Darren Penhall
Andy Hamilton 6-3 Jermaine Wattimena
Conan Whitehead 6-4 Steffen Siepmann
Rob Cross 6-4 Steve West
Andy Hamilton 6-4 Conan Whitehead
Rob Cross 6-2 Andy Hamilton
First huge casualty as Price is dumped out by Kyle Anderson, who is then perhaps surprised by Rowby John, who after nicking deciders against Dobey and Ward is able to push through to the latter stages. On 10, Cross was never really troubled, while Andy Hamilton had a decent little run.
Board 11:
Mensur Suljovic 6-5 Kai Fan Leung
Gary Blades 6-3 Matt Clark
Luke Humphries 6-0 Ricky Evans
Damon Heta 6-3 Niels Zonneveld
Mensur Suljovic 6-0 Gary Blades
Damon Heta 6-0 Luke Humphries
Damon Heta 6-1 Mensur Suljovic
Board 12:
Glen Durrant 6-4 Dimitri van den Bergh
Gary Anderson 6-0 Richard North
Jose de Sousa 6-0 Aaron Beeney
Christian Bunse 6-2 Martin Atkins (Wigan)
Glen Durrant 6-3 Gary Anderson
Jose de Sousa 6-1 Christian Bunse
Glen Durrant 6-4 Jose de Sousa
Impressive couple of wins from Heta to win the board, while Suljovic got on the board the Aussie was a bit too much, meanwhile will you ever see a more impressive board win than what Durrant managed?
Board 13:
Ian White 6-4 Vincent van der Meer
John Henderson 6-4 Cristo Reyes
Gabriel Clemens 6-0 Boris Krcmar
Martin Schindler 6-2 Jeff Smith
Ian White 6-1 John Henderson
Gabriel Clemens 6-0 Martin Schindler
Gabriel Clemens 6-4 Ian White
Board 14:
Nathan Aspinall 6-5 Benito van de Pas
Luke Woodhouse 6-0 Mike de Decker
Nick Kenny 6-2 Steve Beaton
Andy Boulton 6-0 Wayne Jones
Nathan Aspinall 6-5 Luke Woodhouse
Nick Kenny 6-3 Andy Boulton
Nathan Aspinall 6-0 Nick Kenny
Another huge seed falls, but Clemens over White isn't what you'd call a huge shock, Gabriel also managing to emphatically beat his fellow German in round 2. Aspinall wins his board as expected, but not before being pushed all the way by a resurgent van de Pas and an ever improving Woodhouse.
Board 15:
Daryl Gurney 6-0 Mickey Mansell
Martijn Kleermaker 6-4 Steve Lennon
Max Hopp 6-1 Vincent van der Voort
Lisa Ashton 6-5 Marko Kantele
Martijn Kleermaker 6-2 Daryl Gurney
Max Hopp 6-5 Lisa Ashton
Max Hopp 6-3 Martijn Kleermaker
Board 16:
Darius Labanauskas 6-2 Dave Chisnall
Mark McGeeney 6-4 William Borland
Callan Rydz 6-5 Brendan Dolan
Harald Leitinger 6-5 Ron Meulenkamp
Darius Labanauskas 6-2 Mark McGeeney
Harald Leitinger 6-3 Callan Rydz
Darius Labanauskas 6-0 Harald Leitinger
We've always got to have a bit of a weird section I guess - Hopp returns to from, just surviving a scare against Lisa Ashton before defeating Kleermaker, who'd earlier maintained Gurney's mediocre start to the season, while on 16 both the seeds lost in round one, and Labanauskas cleaned up, winning the board with a whitewash of Leitinger.
Last 16:
Michael van Gerwen 6-2 Jamie Hughes
Ryan Searle 6-5 Mike van Duivenbode
Jonny Clayton 6-0 Derk Telnekes
Peter Wright 6-5 Danny Nopeprt
Rob Cross 6-0 Rowby John Rodriguez
Glen Durrant 6-1 Damon Heta
Gabriel Clemens 6-5 Nathan Aspinall
Max Hopp 6-0 Darius Labanauskas
No enormous shocks, although Clemens over Aspinall may raise a few eyebrows, and after beating Schindler earlier will get Hopp in the quarters, where we'll also see a rematch of van Gerwen and Searle, a clash of world champions in Cross and Durrant, while the current champ Wright will play off against Jonny Clayton.
Quarters onwards:
Michael van Gerwen 6-2 Ryan Searle
Peter Wright 6-3 Jonny Clayton
Rob Cross 6-0 Glen Durrant
Max Hopp 6-3 Gabriel Clemens
Michael van Gerwen 6-1 Peter Wright
Rob Cross 6-0 Max Hopp
Michael van Gerwen 6-1 Rob Cross
MvG saves his best stuff for when it matters most and claims the title, after Cross continued to hit the afterburners before running into a green wall in the final. Nice run for Hopp, who put some doubt in the minds of many who's Germany's number one.
With event three in the books, straight onto event four:
Board 1:
Geert Nentjes 6-4 Michael van Gerwen
Scott Baker 6-3 Antonio Alcinas
Gabriel Clemens 6-5 Jeff Smith
Matt Clark 6-3 Max Hopp
Geert Nentjes 6-4 Scott Baker
Gabriel Clemens 6-0 Matt Clark
Geert Nentjes 6-4 Gabriel Clemens
Board 2:
Wesley Harms 6-3 Jeffrey de Zwaan
Ryan Searle 6-3 Steve Brown
Martin Atkins (Wigan) 6-4 Danny Noppert
Yordi Meeuwisse 6-4 Mickey Mansell
Wesley Harms 6-2 Ryan Searle
Martin Atkins (Wigan) 6-5 Yordi Meeuwisse
Martin Atkins (Wigan) 6-4 Wesley Harms
He couldn't be doing it again, could he? Nenjtes shocks MvG, then goes on to take out one of yesterday's stars in Clemens to win the board. He could go further, as Martin Atkins is a real surprise board winner after a hattrick of Dutch scalps.
Board 3:
Daryl Gurney 6-5 Gary Blades
Steve West 6-5 Ross Smith
Mervyn King 6-5 Matt Edgar
Harald Leitinger 6-0 Mike van Duivenbode
Daryl Gurney 6-4 Steve West
Harald Leitinger 6-3 Mervyn King
Daryl Gurney 6-1 Harald Leitinger
Board 4:
Nathan Aspinall 6-4 Simon Stevenson
Mark McGeeney 6-5 James Wilson
Jonny Clayton 6-0 Jelle Klaasen
Lisa Ashton 6-4 Daniel Larsson
Nathan Aspinall 6-3 Mark McGeeney
Jonny Clayton 6-0 Lisa Ashton
Jonny Clayton 6-4 Nathan Aspinall
Gurney finally gets out of his board, not before being stretched by Gary Blades and Steve West, while Leitinger has a decent weekend. The seeds reached the final of board four as expected, with Clayton just having the better of Aspinall.
Board 5:
Mensur Suljovic 6-2 Willie O'Connor
Jamie Lewis 6-5 Vincent van der Meer
Keegan Brown 6-4 Jonathan Worsley
Madars Razma 6-2 Kai Fan Leung
Mensur Suljovic 6-4 Jamie Lewis
Madars Razma 6-1 Keegan Brown
Mensur Suljovic 6-2 Madars Razma
Board 6:
Rowby John Rodriguez 6-4 Michael Smith
Ryan Murray 6-4 Wayne Jones
Darren Webster 6-1 Brendan Dolan
Scott Waites 6-2 Steve Lennon
Ryan Murray 6-2 Rowby John Rodriguez
Scott Waites 6-4 Darren Webster
Ryan Murray 6-2 Scott Waites
Mensur finally gets out of his board with relative ease, while board 6 sees a bit of a surprise winner, with Rowby threatening to go on another run after dumping out Michael Smith, before losing next round to the eventual winner Ryan Murray.
Board 7:
Peter Wright 6-0 Karel Sedlacek
Maik Kuivenhoven 6-4 John Henderson
Justin Pipe 6-5 Dimitri van den Bergh
Alan Tabern 6-0 Barrie Bates
Peter Wright 6-1 Maik Kuivenhoven
Justin Pipe 6-3 Alan Tabern
Peter Wright 6-1 Justin Pipe
Board 8:
Joe Cullen 6-0 Peter Jacques
Ryan Meikle 6-4 Adrian Gray
Kim Huybrechts 6-2 Jermaine Wattimena
Kirk Shepherd 6-4 Kyle Anderson
Ryan Meikle 6-1 Joe Cullen
Kim Huybrechts 6-0 Kirk Shepherd
Kim Huybrechts 6-1 Ryan Meike
All too easy for the world champ, while on 8, the resurgent Huybrechts claims the board after consigning Wattimena to a pair of first round exits.
Board 9:
Gerwyn Price 6-4 Devon Petersen
Martin Schindler 6-2 Richard North
Chris Dobey 6-0 Robert Thornton
Ted Evetts 6-3 Niels Zonneveld
Martin Schindler 6-5 Gerwyn Price
Chris Dobey 6-4 Ted Evetts
Chris Dobey 6-4 Martin Schindler
Board 10:
Luke Humphries 6-5 Rob Cross
Andy Hamilton 6-2 John Michael
Christian Bunse 6-3 Adrian Lewis
Jason Lowe 6-1 Andy Boulton
Andy Hamilton 6-4 Luke Humphries
Jason Lowe 6-0 Christian Bunse
Andy Hamilton 6-4 Jason Lowe
Huge shock as the back to back Grand Slam champion loses in round two to Martin Schindler, who is then immediately put out by Chris Dobey. On board 10, we see two world champions lose in the first round - Humphries repeats the trick on Cross, but Bunse taking out Lewis is maybe a surprise. Needless to say they both lose in the next round and it's another former world finalist in Andy Hamilton that claims the board.
Board 11:
James Wade 6-0 Harry Ward
Dave Pallett 6-5 Gary Anderson
Ricky Evans 6-0 Nathan Derry
Benito van de Pas 6-1 Adam Hunt
James Wade 6-5 Dave Pallett
Ricky Evans 6-2 Benito van de Pas
James Wade 6-3 Ricky Evans
Board 12:
Dave Chisnall 6-3 Bradley Brooks
Ciaran Teehan 6-5 Reece Robinson
Steve Beaton 6-0 Steffen Siepmann
Cristo Reyes 6-3 Jan Dekker
Dave Chisnall 6-0 Ciaran Teehan
Cristo Reyes 6-3 Steve Beaton
Dave Chisnall 6-0 Cristo Reyes
Board 11 saw a good showing from Pallett, pulling off a big upset of Gary Anderson before nearly doing the same against James Wade, who'll face Dave Chisnall in the last sixteen as he was rarely troubled, helped by Beaton losing early I guess.
Board 13:
Ian White 6-3 Marko Kantele
Jesus Noguera 6-0 Michael Barnard
Carl Wilkinson 6-3 Simon Whitlock
Luke Woodhouse 6-0 Aaron Beeney
Ian White 6-0 Jesus Noguera
Luke Woodhouse 6-5 Carl Wilkinson
Luke Woodhouse 6-5 Ian White
Board 14:
Ryan Joyce 6-2 Jamie Hughes
Callan Rydz 6-5 Mike de Decker
Stephen Bunting 6-5 Nick Kenny
Boris Krcmar 6-3 Gavin Carlin
Callan Rydz 6-3 Ryan Joyce
Boris Krcmar 6-4 Stephen Bunting
Callan Rydz 6-1 Boris Krcmar
Another big seed out, Ian White only really looking like he might be troubled by Woodhouse on his board, and that he was. Rydz is a surprise winner of his board, but picked up some decent scalps along the way.
Board 15:
Krzysztof Ratajski 6-4 Darren Penhall
Joe Murnan 6-2 William Borland
Ron Meulenkamp 6-5 Vincent van der Voort
Krzysztof Kciuk 6-5 Martijn Kleermaker
Krzysztof Ratajksi 6-5 Joe Murnan
Ron Meulenkamp 6-0 Krzysztof Kciuk
Ron Meulenkamp 6-2 Krzysztof Ratajski
Board 16:
Conan Whitehead 6-5 Glen Durrant
Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-1 Darius Labanauskas
Jose de Sousa 6-3 Derk Telnekes
Josh Payne 6-2 Damon Heta
Conan Whitehead 6-3 Dirk van Duijvenbode
Jose de Sousa 6-5 Josh Payne
Conan Whitehead 6-3 Jose de Sousa
Ron hit a nice bit of form to do the Krzysztof double and reach the deep stages of a tour event again, while on the other board Conan Whitehead hit peak form to get past three of the more in form players on the circuit.
Last sixteen:
Geert Nentjes 6-2 Martin Atkins (Wigan)
Daryl Gurney 6-4 Jonny Clayton
Ryan Murray 6-3 Mensur Suljovic
Peter Wright 6-2 Kim Huybrechts
Chris Dobey 6-0 Andy Hamilton
James Wade 6-3 Dave Chisnall
Callan Rydz 6-5 Luke Woodhouse
Ron Meulenkamp 6-5 Conan Whitehead
Probably the biggest surprise is Q-School mister consistency Ryan Murray getting by Mensur Suljovic, otherwise it's mostly as expected, that bottom quarter has been wide open for a long time.
Quarter finals onwards:
Daryl Gurney 6-0 Geert Nentjes
Peter Wright 6-5 Ryan Murray
Chris Dobey 6-3 James Wade
Callan Rydz 6-4 Ron Meulenkamp
Peter Wright 6-0 Daryl Gurney
Chris Dobey 6-4 Callan Rydz
Peter Wright 6-4 Chris Dobey
Dobey's search for a title will go on a little longer after losing in the final to the world champ, Chris was able to end Callan's dream run in a bit of a semi final derby, while Geert's hunt for a second title was brought crashing down in spectacular fashion in the quarter finals.
Thursday, 2 April 2020
TA Pro Tour 3-4
Event 3:
Inaugural winner Nentjes gets MvG this time, Durrant is on another real fun board, we get a world rematch in Cross against Humphries, in form Petersen gets Gerwyn Price. Will reveal in a new post board by board later this evening, probably after 10pm.
Prime Time gets MvG, Cullen and Evans get tough draws, Durrant gets an awful situation, otherwise there's not a massive amount that stands out here
