Career
Rob Cross, a professional darts player, first garnered attention in October 2015 when he attempted to qualify for the 2016 BDO World Darts Championship, although he was eliminated in the last 64 by Tony Martin.
He also competed in the 2015 World Masters but was knocked out in the last 48 by Darius Labanauskas. Despite these early setbacks, Cross’s potential became evident during the 2016 UK Open, where he reached the last 32 as an amateur qualifier. Later that year, his success in the PDC Challenge Tour, where he won three events, earned him a Tour Card for the 2017 PDC Pro Tour.
Cross’s rise continued in 2017 when he reached the fifth round of the UK Open before being defeated by Peter Wright. Shortly after, he claimed his first PDC title by defeating Mervyn King in the final of a Players Championship event.
The highlight of his career came during his debut at the 2018 World Championship, where he entered as the 20th seed. Cross advanced to the final after defeating top players, including Michael van Gerwen in a dramatic match where he survived six match darts.
In the final, he faced darts legend Phil Taylor and triumphed 7–2 in sets, marking Taylor’s retirement match and cementing Cross’s place in the sport’s history.
In subsequent years, Cross experienced mixed results at the World Championship. He was defeated in the fourth round of the 2019 tournament by Luke Humphries while defending his title.
Despite early exits in the 2020 and 2021 World Championships, he showcased his resilience in other competitions, such as reaching the final of the 2019 UK Open and the World Series of Darts Finals. However, his performances at the World Championships in these years highlighted some struggles, including losses to Kim Huybrechts and Dirk van Duijvenbode.
Cross returned to form in the 2024 World Championship with an impressive run. He began by whitewashing Thibault Tricole in the second round and securing a 4–2 victory over Jeffrey de Graaf in the third round.
His dominance continued with a 4–0 victory over Jonny Clayton in the fourth round, followed by a dramatic comeback from four sets down to defeat Chris Dobey 5–4 in the quarterfinals. However, his campaign ended in the semi-finals, where he was defeated 6–2 by Luke Littler. Despite the loss, Cross’s performance reaffirmed his status as one of darts’ most skilled and determined players.
