2023 Cazoo Masters Darts second-round results, score, quarterfinal schedule, venue, draw, format, & playing line-up
In a rematch of the European Championship final, Michael Smith defeated his namesake Ross, who gathered combinations 126, 130, & 136 to take an early 4-2 lead. Thanks to his greater scoring ability, the reigning world champion was able to regain control, but the European Champion was unyielding and followed up his fourth 180 with a 15-darter to move 7-6 ahead. However, Michael responded forcefully, taking four of the following legs to emerge victorious by score of 10-7.
During the first match of the afternoon session, Noppert rallied admirably to defeat Stephen Bunting in a nail-biting last-leg match despite falling behind 2-6 at one point of the match. Meanwhile in the evening’s curtain-raiser, Dirk van Duijvenbode defeated Gerwyn Price for the first time during a televised match, which saw him qualify for the quarterfinal matchup with Chris Dobey. In another second-round match on Saturday, 2021 champion Jonny Clayton easily defeated 2014 champion James Wade by a score of 10-3 to advance for the quarterfinal stage.
At the Marshall Arena, Sunday’s closing rounds of Cazoo Masters Darts will begin with the quarterfinal ties in the afternoon session before culminating with the semifinal & final of a jam-packed evening session. Fans can purchase tickets to this event here.
