A look at the line-up, schedule and format for the 2026 Elten Safety Shoes Baltic Sea Darts Open, the eighth European Tour event of the season.
Cameron Menzies claimed a huge victory against Rob Cross in Friday's evening session at the Baltic Sea Darts Open.
Menzies averaged 108.41 and hit six maximums on his way to claiming a 6-4 win against Cross and set up a second round clash against world No 9 Stephen Bunting.
"I'll be honest, I felt really good in that game," Menzies said. "Rob is coming back and he pushed me, but that's the best game I've played in a long time, and I needed that win."
Dimitri van den Bergh also booked a spot in the next round with a 6-2 victory against Alan Soutar, in what is his first European Tour event in over a year.
"I am doing my very best, and you're seeing glimpses of what I can do again," Van Den Bergh said.
"There are parts of my game where I'm performing and showing what I can do, but I can do so much more, and I want so much more."
He faces a huge clash against top seed Gian van Veen in the second round on Saturday, with Dave Chisnall and Joe Cullen set to also square off in an all-English clash.
Ryan Joyce, meanwhile, booked a second-round tie against Martin Schindler after his sensational victory against Christian Kist.
He produced a sensational 150 checkout that featured three bullseyes, in what was a pulsating 6-3 comeback victory.
