The German darts expect Gabriel Clemens to be eliminated in the last 16 of the Darts World Cup. The 37-year-old lost his round of 16 Tuesday night at Alexandra Palace in London 3: 4 to his Polish opponent Krzysztof Ratajski, who will now face Stephen Bunting or Ryan Searle in the quarterfinals on New Years.
“The German Giant” Clemens ran after a deficit all night in an even match, as Ratajski was allowed to start odd sets. In the section of decision of the final sentence it got dramatic. Both players missed multiple chances to win, each with two points remaining. Clemens missed seven darts before Ratajski scored the double 1 to win. Clemens was previously the first German professional to reach the round of 16 at a World Cup.
The best German arrow thrower had already lost all five direct matches against Ratajski. After his hit on Champion Wright, the road to the semi-finals seemed open. Because Ratajski (15th place), Bunting (26) and Searle (unarmed) are not among the closest world leaders. Six more round of 16 with former champion Gary Anderson of Scotland and co-favorite Gerwyn Price of Wales are on the program on Wednesday.
