PDCThursday, 04 May 2023 at 13:06
The draw and schedule has been confirmed for the seventh European Tour in the form of the Belgian Darts Open which will take place between May 5-7.
Dave Chisnall is the defending champion aiming to retain his crown at the Oktoberhallen. He has also already won two titles this year on the European Tour including the Dutch Darts Championship last week.
Also headlining are top seed Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, and Michael Smith, with home hopes coming from Friday with Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts among those involved.
Van den Bergh will face Ian White, while for Huybrechts, it is Ricky Evans. Gary Anderson will also continue his comeback to the European Tour.
He will pit his wits against Krzysztof Ratajski who he defeated in his recent ProTour win. A tussle with practice partner, Ryan Searle could await. James Wade will also again face Raymond van Barneveld in another high profile Friday meeting.
