Gian van Veen has advanced to the final at the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy this night. After a masterclass in the middle part of the match, van Veen still had to pull out all the stops to beat Ryan Searle 7-5.
Van Veen is on an impressive winning streak at the Euro Tour tournament in Budapest. He previously defeated Keane Barry (6-4), Danny Noppert (6-3) and Wessel Nijman (6-2) and has thrown an average of over 100 in three of his four matches.
Van Veen shot out of the starting blocks with a 112 finish, then Searle responded with a 14-darter for the equalizer. Both players then held their own leg again before Van Veen ran out to a 4-2 lead with a 12-darter and a 161 finish. Then it was even 6-2 after a 14-darter and another 161 finish.
The trebles were a lot more difficult to come by after that for Van Veen, however. Searle came back to 5-6, and could start the twelfth leg himself. The Englishman was on his way to forcing a deciding leg, but missed four chances to take it. Van Veen took advantage of these misses and threw out 68 to qualify for the final.
In his first-ever Euro Tour final, Van Veen will face the winner of the second semifinal between Ross Smith and Michael van Gerwen. The final is then later in the evening.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
