Alongside the UK Open Qualifiers going on this weekend, another tournament is taking place and that is the prestigious Dutch Open which opened it's doors for 2018 yesterday. Now we know who our pairs finalist's will be on both the men's and women's draws.
Wesley Harms is teaming with Richard Veenstra and they will play Yoeri Duijster/Davy van de Zande in the Dutch Open pairs final. Veenstra and Harms narrowly won the quarterfinal, after surviving nine match-darts. In the semi-finals they won 4-0 against the team of Stephan Knoop and Heine Uuldriks to progress through.
For Duijster and Van de Zande, the semi-finals was a real thriller against one of the teams who were favourites in Scott Waites and Scott Mitchell. They took a 3-1 lead, but then gave it away. After six legs, the score was straight again. In the decisive leg, both sides played well, but it was Duijster who finished the final double.
Teams such as Glen Durrant and Mark McGeeney went out quite early with the amount of entrants for both the singles and pairs meaning some shocks are always on the cards.
In terms of the women's, the final will be between Trina Gulliver/Paula Jacklin and Lorraine Winstanley/Corrine Hammond. The defending champions Aileen de Graaf and Sharon Prins were eliminated in the semi-finals by Gulliver and Jacklin. Winstanley and Hammond on the other hand had to defeat Danielle and Lisa Ashton 3-2 in the semi-finals.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
