Berry van Peer (number 159 in the world) impresses with victory over top talent Josh Rock, Price too strong for ‘Barney’ | Darts

Yesterday Van Peer was too strong for Dutch American Jules van Dongen (6-1) in the first round. Van Peer opposed Rocky immediately one break. The Dutchman saw his opponent come alongside after four legs, but Rock was again unable to keep his own leg. Bionicas Van Peer’s nickname is, did not give away the lead and via a double eight he won in Munich.

Van Peer’s average was over 94, slightly less than one point more than Rock. The finish percentage of the Dutchman was also better: 54.55 percent to 42.86 percent. In the eighth finals, Van Peer will face the Irishman Keane Barry tomorrow afternoon.

Van Duijvenbode entered the second round because of his position in the world ranking (eleventh). Aubergenius in his first match in Munich was too strong for the Englishman Callan Rydz, the number 24 in the world: 6-3.

Only in the first and last leg did not fall break and it was Van Duijvenbode who managed to keep his own leg. The seven legs in between were all breaks. The Dutchman scored an average of more than 95, compared to more than ninety from Rydz. The finish percentage was also in favor of Aubergenius: 37.5 percent to 23.08 percent. In the eighth finals, Van Duijvenbode will play against compatriot Noppert or the German Liam Maendl-Lawrance.

Danny Noppert has also reached the third round in Munich. The Dutchman was 6-5 too strong for 18-year-old Liam Meandl-Lawrance. For the 18-year-old German talent it was a competition in his hometown, so naturally he had the audience behind him. In addition, Meandl-Lawrance throws relatively slowly, which made it difficult for Noppert to get into his rhythm. The Freeze fell behind 4-5, but still took the last two legs.

Raymond van Barneveld caused a spectacle at the oche in Munich on Saturday against Ian White, but had to recognize his superior in Gerwyn Price on Sunday evening. The Dutch five-time world champion started the match with a break, but soon saw that Price recovered. The Welshman eventually recorded an average of 100.02, while ‘Barney’ only threw an average of 83.15. It resulted in a 6-2 final score.

Jeffrey de Zwaan defeated Brendon Dolan on Saturday, but he was unable to follow up on that victory a day later. The 27-year-old Dutchman didn’t stand a chance against Luke Humphries, who was placed first in Germany. De Zwaan was immediately broken twice and so he faced a 3-0 deficit in no time. He never recovered from that blow, the game ended in 6-2. De Zwaan was only 14 percent on his doubles and only threw an average of 85.32.

Michael van Gerwen takes a rest and is missing at the German Darts Grand Prix.
