2018 International Darts Open Schedule

European Tour stage (PDC)

THE International Darts Open begins on Friday, with former European Tour winners Steve Beaton, Robert Thornton and Vincent van der Voort set to headline round one in Riesa.

The £135,000 tournament is the 12th European Tour event of the year and will see 48 players compete at SACHSENarena across the weekend.

Friday's first round will see 32 qualifiers competing, as last weekend's Dutch Darts Championship quarter-finalist Kyle Anderson takes on Ross Smith.

Round One will also see German Darts Championship finalist James Wilson meet Adam Huckvale, while nine-time televised finalist Terry Jenkins will play Matthew Dennant.

Former European Tour winners Beaton and Van der Voort clash, while Thornton will meet Dutchman Danny Noppert, who was one of the eight European Qualifiers to win through on Thursday night.

Jelle Klaasen's qualification set up a tie with emerging Spanish ace Jose Justicia, while Robert Marijanovic plays Jan Dekker and German World Cup star Martin Schindler takes on Ron Meulenkamp.

The 16 seeded players, led by defending champion Peter Wright and World Champion Rob Cross, will enter at the second round stage on Saturday.

The International Darts Open will take place from September 14-16, with streaming available for all PDCTV-HD Subscribers worldwide as well as through a series of bookmakers' websites.
