Beforehand, hardly anyone doubted that Greaves, also defending champion in Assen, would take the ladies' title again. She is currently winning almost everything there is to win in the women's game, and had won all her 19 matches in 2023. But that run came to an end against De Graaf.
It was the Dutchwoman's finishes that were the deciding factor in the final. By hitting 75, 94 and 80 among others, the victory went 5-2 to De Graaf.
