Van Barneveld did not cash in on the necessary chances in the first set. It will have to be a little better with the Dutchman.

Van Barneveld in a few minutes!
Lerchbacher wins 3-2 in sets from Hughes and that means it's almost time for Raymond van Barneveld! After a short break, the Dutchman comes on stage for his first round match at the World Cup against Darin Young.

Hughes and Lerchbacher make it a long party. The Austrian now leads 2-1 in legs in the decisive fifth set.

The fans of Van Barneveld are certainly ready for it. Hughes-Lerchbacher (1-2 in sets) is the match for Van Barneveld-Young and is still busy.

Should Raymond van Barneveld win tonight, he will play against fellow countryman Jeffrey de Zwaan in the second round on Tuesday 17 December. If 'Barney' loses, the World Cup is over and therefore his career.

We have to wait for the five-time world champion. Jamie Hughes and Zoran Lerchbacher are currently playing against each other (1-1 in sets). After this game (best of 5) 'Barney' comes on stage.

He is certainly not the top favorite, but Van Barneveld hunts for his sixth world title in London. Can he add another prize to his palmares?

Raymond van Barneveld is already in action in the first round of the World Cup. That has everything to do with its low PDC ranking. The Dutchman is outside the top 32. 'Barney' takes on Darin Young and that is the first time (and therefore also the last) in his career.
