Raymond van Barneveld knocked Luke Humphries out of the European Darts Open with a 6-4 victory in Round Two on Saturday, as Dirk van Duijvenbode dethroned Gerwyn Price.

Five-time World Champion Van Barneveld fired in five 180s and defied a brace of ton-plus finishes from the world number one to progress to the Last 16 of a European Tour event for the first time this year.

“To beat the world number one is an amazing feeling,” said Van Barneveld, who will now face his compatriot Gian van Veen on Sunday afternoon.

“Luke is an amazing player. When you’re the World Champion, you have a target on your back, but Luke doesn’t deserve that. He’s a fantastic guy and we’re good friends.

“I keep believing in myself. I feel relaxed, and when you’re relaxed, you can achieve anything.”

Van Duijvenbode, meanwhile, powered past reigning champion Price at the Ostermann-Arena, reeling off five consecutive legs from 2-1 down to avenge his defeat in last year’s final.

The 2023 runner-up averaged 102 and pinned six of his nine attempts at double to topple the Welshman and bolster his hopes of World Matchplay qualification.

“My confidence is not there yet, but I feel like I’m getting back to where I used to be,” declared Van Duijvenbode, who has been battling injury problems over the last 12 months.

“I had a nine-darter in practice yesterday, today I hit two in 30 minutes in practice. I’ve never done that in my life and now I’ve hit three in 24 hours!

“I feel determined to show people that Dirk is not done. I feel like I’m getting closer, but I’m not done, I promise you!”

Michael van Gerwen joined his fellow countrymen in the Last 16 after opening up his bid for a record-extending sixth European Darts Open title with a battling 6-4 win over Dylan Slevin.

German number one Martin Schindler preserved home hopes with a 6-4 victory over Karel Sedlacek, averaging 102 and landing a brace of ton-plus finishes.

Michael Smith completed a whitewash win against an out-of-sorts Rob Cross to set up a meeting against Peter Wright – who won five straight legs in overturning a 3-1 deficit against in-form Ritchie Edhouse.

Josh Rock produced a 100 average to open his challenge for a second straight European Tour title, landing a spectacular 160 checkout to wrap up a 6-3 defeat of Dimitri Van den Bergh.

Having opened his European Tour account with victory against Joe Cullen on Friday, Owen Bates continued his breakthrough run in Leverkusen, recovering from 5-3 down to stun sixth seed Danny Noppert in a deciding leg.

Earlier in the day, second seed Dave Chisnall also hit back from 5-3 down to sink Luke Woodhouse, surviving a match dart in the penultimate leg in a contest which saw both players average above 100.

Chris Dobey also survived match darts in his dramatic last-leg victory against Jeffrey de Graaf, while Masters champion Stephen Bunting won through a scrappy affair against Host Nation Qualifier Kevin Troppmann.

Kevin Doets landed five 180s to fend off a late fightback from Ricardo Pietreczko and move into the provisional World Matchplay qualification places, overhauling James Wade in the process.

Doets’ fellow Dutchman Van Veen won a topsy-turvy contest against Lakeside champion Andy Baetens, who fought back from 4-0 down to level, before Van Veen regained his poise to progress.

Damon Heta prevailed in a high-quality affair against Dom Taylor, averaging 99.99 and pinning six of his 12 attempts at double to cap off a clinical 6-4 success.

Ryan Searle overcame Daryl Gurney by the same scoreline to create a third round meeting against five-time winner Van Gerwen, while Ross Smith brushed aside a below-par Callan Rydz in his opener.
