Two super quick players face off in Josh Rock against Callan Rydz.

Callan Rydz from my neck of the woods, you know, is going through some personal problems, with his grandad passing over the weekend.

So in one way, he'll look at that as a real inspiration. I'm sure it'll be in the back of his mind, and it won't be easy up there.

But he is playing someone in Josh Rock who's been touted to be one of the real top dogs for a long time now, and he's had a great 2025.

He's the type of explosive, ferocious player who can live with the scoring power of the likes of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries.

There'll be a lot of 180s again, but I just Rock will hit more.

Ryan Searle was so good in his last 32 game against Martin Schindler.

I fancied Schindler to go really deep, and I had that game down as a real 50/50. It was far from that, with a 102 average from Ryan Searle.

He's now up against James Hurrell, a really good friend of mine. James Horrell, let me tell you, I'm really, really proud of him. He really shouldn't even be on the dartboard because he was very poorly a couple of years ago, so to see him up there plying his trade with the opportunity of reaching the last 8, it's mega.

But I'm going to go against my friendship, and I'm going to go for Ryan Searle at 2/5 to beat James Hurrell in their last 16 clash.

Reminder, Hurrell did beat the 4th seed in Stephen Bunting.

He'll be no pushover, far from it.

But I see Ryan Searle coming out on top.
