Rob Cross defends his Baltic Sea Darts Open title with Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Value in motion from Saturday on a star-studded invoice in Kiel.
The PDC European Tour season has resumed on the Wunderino Area in Kiel this weekend, as a few of the sport’s greatest names battle it out for the £30,000 prime prize on German soil.
After Friday evening’s first spherical, the 16 seeds enter the match from Saturday’s second spherical.
Reigning champion Cross will open his defence in opposition to Belgium’s Andy Baetens – who knocked out former world champion Raymond van Barneveld 6-4 on Friday evening – whereas world No 1 Humphries takes on Mickey Mansell.
Returning to motion in successful model on Friday for the primary time since triumphing on the World Cup of Darts with Josh Rock for Northern Eire, Daryl Gurney faces tenth seed Dave Chisnall in spherical two.
Danny Noppert performs Mike De Decker, whereas Nathan Aspinall has been drawn in opposition to Ricardo Pietreczko.
Following Saturday’s second spherical, the final 16 will return to the stage on Sunday afternoon, earlier than the match concludes with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and last in a bumper night session.
