Darts - 5:4 after 0:4: Cross in the semi-finals of the World Cup
England's Rob Cross has crowned a magnificent comeback and reached the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship.
The 33-year-old came from 4-0 down to win his quarter-final 5-4 against compatriot Chris Dobey. Cross has been more and more convincing from match to match in the 2.5 million pound (around 2.9 million euros) tournament. In the round of 16, he defeated co-favorite Jonny Clayton from Wales 4:0.
His opponent will be determined directly afterwards between Brendan Dolan from Northern Ireland and Luke Littler. The 16-year-old Englishman Littler is the sensation of this tournament and could become the youngest semi-finalist in World Championship history. For Dobey, the hitherto promising tournament, in which he had also defeated world champion Michael Smith 4:0, ended in bitter disappointment.

Rob Cross's semifinals appearance at the World Darts Championship is a testament to his international stage prowess. This marks the third time Great Britain has a representative in the semifinals, following Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis. Cross's impressive performance has put him within striking distance of the world title, thus catching up to the likes of Chris Dobey and Luke Littler, both former opponents. The upcoming semifinal in London will see Cross going head-to-head with the winner of the match between Brendan Dolan from Northern Ireland and the 16-year-old phenom Luke Littler. If Cross reaches the final, he would have a chance to add the World Championship title to his resume, further cementing his place in darts history. The field is now narrowed down to just a handful of players, with the PDC World Darts Championship reaching its climax.
