This is so composed from Woodhouse- you would think he would be a bit jittery after hitting a nine but he is right back in the zone.Lovely two-dart finish and he is cruising.
Woodhouse wants to make his move now- He is down to 141 with van Duijvenbode all the way back in the 300s.THAT IS AFTER THE PERFECT SIX DARTS TO GET GOING! HE TAKES OUT THE 141 FINISH! HUGE! CLUTCH D12!THE CROWD GOES WILD! It is his first nine-darter in six years.
Woodhouse gets the Dortmund crowd going with a 180 and from that, is quickly down to 106. He cannot finish it off on D16 but with Van Duijvenbode not yet on a finish, he returns.
Van Duijvenbode is scoring well in this leg and from 178, he leaves himself 88 for the throw. He cannot take that but gets to return on 25...HE MISSES! That gives Woodhouse a huge chance for a break on 36 but he makes a mess of it on D9. Van Duijvenbode levels.
Woodhouse has the throw in this opening leg and after a poor opening visit, he gets back on track by finding the T19 bed with ease. While Woodhouse cannot take out the ton plus checkout, he returns on 25 and takes it on D8.
Let's get the action under way! First up, we have Luke Woodhouse up against Dirk van Duijvenbode.Both of these players have found patches of form as of late so this should be quite the contest to get us going!
Mark Webster speaking on ITV Sport..."Luke Woodhouse is in good form and has improved year on year."He got the big win over Luke Littler at the World GrandPrix."His temperament has changed. It is a brilliant way to start the night."
Luke Humphries has withdrawn from the 2026 European Championship after being diagnosed with gastroenteritis. The world No 2 was set to make his sixth appearance in Dortmund, having finished as runner-up last year. Under PDC rules, Humphries will be directly replaced in the field by Kim Huybrechts, the highest-ranked non-qualified player in the 2026 European Tour rankings.
2018 European Championship semi-finalist..."Darts in Germany is only getting bigger and bigger."We have a cracking line-up tonight."Luke Littler is in action tomorrow night, I am intrigued to see the reaction to him."
