Gabriel Clemens was the last remaining German to be eliminated from the Darts World Championship in London.

The 38-year-old Saarlander lost his third-round match on Monday against top Welsh player Jonny Clayton 4-0 and was unable to repeat his round of 16 from the previous year.

The "German Giant", as Clemens is called, made a lot of mistakes on the doubles and was inferior to the strong favorite for almost the entire duration of the game.

London - Clayton is now playing against Englishman Michael Smith.

Already in his second round match against Lewy Williams (3-0) Clemens acted below his possibilities and benefited from the double weakness of the Welsh rival.

For the German professionals, the Darts World Cup is already over before the round of 16.

In the afternoon Florian Hempel failed 4-1 against Australian outsider Raymond Smith.

A year ago, Clemens surprisingly defeated defending champion Peter Wright from Scotland and was the first German ever to reach the round of 16 at the most important tournament in the world.

The other two participants, Martin Schindler and Fabian Schmutzler, were eliminated in round one.
