Magnificent Menzies Shines Again in Slovakia

Diamond Draws Competitions

Cameron Menzies recorded an outstanding ton-plus averages his round two match in Bratislava, booking his place in tomorrow’s final day of the Slovak Darts Open.

Menzies produced one of the best averages of the weekend so far, as the Scotsman raced past Gerwyn Price, beating the Welshman 6-2 with an average of 106.

The Scot rattled off three legs at the back-end of the match in 11, 12 and 10 darts to dispatch Price and set up a contest with European Tour debutant Tom Sykes on Sunday.

“That was a free hit,” explained Menzies, who now sits inside the World Matchplay qualification spots.

“I was so nervous, but what helped is that my first dart was finding the treble most of the time.“I needed that. I’m gutted I didn’t get a dart for the nine-darter, I’ll hit it one day, I know I will.

“All I want to do is win. I love Bratislava, and I hope I will be back here.”

Sykes also produced a brilliant display to continue his dream European Tour debut, as he beat Martin Schindler in a gruelling last-leg decider.

“I’m happy to get over the line. He hit the maximum at the start of the last leg and I just knew I had to follow it,” admitted Sykes.

“I never give up, I never will, I’ll always be there or thereabouts, so we’ll carry onto tomorrow and see what happens.”

The final day at the Incheba Expo will get underway from 1300 local time (1200 BST), as the last 16 players will battle it out for a spot in the final session of the Slovak Darts Open.

Live coverage will be streamed on DAZN for viewers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with additional coverage available on CANAL+ SPORT 5 and via the CANAL+ streaming service in Poland.

Coverage will also be broadcast on PDCTV (excluding Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and through bookmakers worldwide.
