Rock-solid Jeffrey de Zwaan also to quarter finals World Grand Prix | Darts

sport">After Dirk van Duijvenbode and Michael van Gerwen had already joined the last eight on Thursday, De Zwaan followed their example a day later. The 24-year-old darter from Rijswijk settled with the German Gabriel Clemens: 3-0.

sport">De Zwaan wrote the first set, which Clemens had started, 3-0 to his name and was therefore immediately in the game. In the second set he showed the necessary resilience, by winning the last two legs after a 2-1 deficit in legs and entering the break with a 2-0 lead. Via a neat 3-0 in the third set, De Zwaan got the job done.

sport">In the first match of Friday night, between Ryan Joyce and Dave Chisnall, the former missed an excellent opportunity to reach the quarterfinals. With a 2-1 lead in the fourth set, the Englishman got no fewer than seven arrows to throw out the match, but failed time and time again. That cost him dearly. Chisnall equalized and grabbed a ticket for the last eight with a win in the fifth set.

sport">Gerwyn Price had little trouble with Kim Huybechts, The Iceman triumphed 3-0. Joe Cullen took the last ticket to the quarterfinals, beating Jonny Clayton 3-2.
