The European Darts Open from Leverkusen reaches it's conclusion this evening with some of darts' biggest names still involved including Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright who could meet in yet another Euro Tour final between the pair.
Van Gerwen is first up tonight in a quarter-final against Simon Whitlock. 'Mighty Mike' defeated Alan Norris earlier today in a great game between the pair while Whitlock defeated Dave Chisnall despite being under the weather. Van Gerwen will have his sights firmly on winning the European Darts Open while Whitlock will be hoping to be the man who stops him.
The winner of that will face the winner of the unseeded tie between Ron Meulenkamp and Richard North. Meulenkamp has shown his semi-final in Riesa last year was no fluke by once again showing how good he is. He faces Richard North who disposed of Rob Cross, the World Champion in a last leg thriller earlier today.
On the other side of the draw, the aforementioned Peter Wright faces Joe Cullen. Wright comfortably beat John Henderson while Cullen came through a thriller with Chris Dobey so it should be a good game between the pair.
Finally Mervyn King faces James Wade. King battled through the pain barrier to defeat Mensur Suljovic while Wade continued his return to form defeating Michael Smith in the best game of the day so far. Wade could be seen as a dark horse to win the title and it's no wonder why.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
