In the deciding leg, on Williams’ throw, Bialecki landed a 180 but it wasn’t enough as the Welshman checked out with double top to secure a vital win. It took just 11 darts for the 19-year-old to level things, but Williams found the darts to break his opponent and secure the second set, 3-1. The third set was more of the same, as Hendricks missed three set darts, before finally landing D4 to put himself in front. It looked like Hendriks was cursed like a Voodoo Child after throwing away that opener, but he broke his opponent in the first leg of the second. More efficient finishing gave him the Fire to go 2-0 up before Hughes clawed a leg back, but it wasn’t enough to repeat his comeback trick of the first set. The Queen of the Palace was in the mood to make an instant impact against Rapid Ricky and despite his name, he was slow out of the blocks. Then Sherrock blew the chance to win the set for a second time before Evans landed D20 to go 2-1 in front. It seemed to rattle Meikle who couldn’t finish in the first leg of the third as Van Barneveld broke him, but the Barber instantly replied with a break of his own. He nailed a D8 to break in the second leg and then cruised to victory as Meikle, despite his promising start, simply couldn’t keep up. She won the first two legs of the fourth, before Rapid Ricky brought the deficit down to 2-1. RVB came out in the second with a point to prove and his clinical nature, as well as starting with 180s saw him into a two leg lead. It was his unflappable composure that was so impressive, as he nailed D12 to seal the opener.
