'The intensity killed me': Fatigued Rob Cross frustrated by running out of steam in Copenhagen final

Rob Cross failed to win a World Series of Darts tournament for the second time this year. 'Voltage', who managed to win the Dutch Darts Masters earlier this year by beating Stephen Bunting in the final, now had to lose to the same Bunting in the final of the Nordic Darts Masters. Cross played a strong tournament, but fatigue eventually broke him in the final.

Cross has had a disappointing Premier League Darts, but showed this weekend that he should definitely not be written off yet. The 34-year-old was superb reaching the Quarter-Finals with an impressive display of strength, convincingly beating Chris Dobey and notching three 100+ finishes in the process.

In the semifinals, it was Gerwyn Price who was defeated. The Welshman had eliminated Luke Humphries 6-3 earlier in the evening in a high-class match, but could not stop Cross. With a 7-4 victory, the former world champion secured a spot in the final against Bunting.
