    Josh Rock will feel slightly hard done by because every single leg that could possibly have been played in this match has been played. It's come down to last-leg deciders in the first two sets.

    I've got a good feeling about Rock this year. All year round he's looked strong, played well and been a real threat to anyone, even the big players like Humphries and Littler. I don't see why he can't go all the way.

    An 11 dart break to win a set against someone averaging about 105 is world class. Happy Feet can beat anyone playing like that.

    Hood 1-0 Rock (0-0)

    Both men are averaging over 100 after the first set. This one could turn into a classic.

    I wouldn't mind a match like Hood's against Danny Noppert earlier in the tournament. That was incredible.

    Is Josh showing some shakiness here against Justin Hood, who has nothing to lose?
