Unfortunately for Gurney he hasn’t defeated the Kent man in their last five meetings. In fact this season, Cross has secured a 7-4 victory and a 6-3 win in their previous two meetings.

The only time that Gurney has defeated Cross came way back in 2019 when he ran out a comfortable 10-6 winner.

If the Waterside man does defeat the Englishman then he would face either Madars Razma or Ryan Searle in the second round.
