MAX HOPP created history with his first nine-dart finish in a PDC competition as he qualified for the International Darts Open in Riesa on Thursday night.
German teenager Hopp was amongst the four Host Nation Qualifiers to compete in the £115,000 PDC European Tour event this weekend as he came through the knockout at the Sachsenarena.
Hopp's night's work included a perfect leg in his second round win over David Grellmann as he won through to play Kevin McDine in the first round on Friday.
Jyhan Artut won through to a tie with Jonny Clayton and Daniel Zygla will take on Mark Barilli, while the fourth German qualifier, Tomas Seyler, takes on Spain's Antonio Alcinas, who was one of the eight European Qualifiers.
His fellow Spaniard Cristo Reyes will continue his emergence after winning through to take on Dean Winstanley, having hit two nine-darters himself since turning professional in January.
Christian Kist and Robert Marijanovic will meet in the first round after they qualified on Thursday, while Austrian ace Mensur Suljovic won through to take on Mark Walsh.
Rowby-John Rodriguez will take on England's Adam Hunt in a clash between two top young talents, after the Austrian overcame his brother Roxy-James as he went on to qualify in Riesa.
Belgian youngster Mike De Decker will play Ireland's William O'Connor - with the winner going on to face Michael van Gerwen - while emerging Dutchman Jeffrey de Zwaan meets Northern Ireland's Mickey Mansell.
