The final has been confirmed at the German Darts Open in Jena with Peter Wright set to face Dimitri van den Bergh which has a lot of intrigue for many reasons.
This includes the duo who were previously friends and had an almost master and apprentice aspect which was heavily touted by the media due to Van den Bergh staying at Wright's house during COVID.
But an interview given last week from Van den Bergh said he felt ignored after an incident at the World Matchplay.
''He did indeed take me into his house for three months, a great experience. But if you see how I'm being treated now, that's it for me. I don't spend my time with people who suddenly have no respect for me anymore. I don't expect any gesture from him, but I just want him to act normal. Maybe there is jealousy involved? No idea what's going on in his mind'', Van den Bergh said.
Wright defeated Joe Cullen 7-4 in the first semifinal. 'Snakebite' was better than Cullen in every way. Wright's average was 101.71, compared to 85.11 for Cullen. In addition, Wright recorded an excellent finish percentage of 63.6 percent, compared to 36.4 percent for Cullen.
Van den Bergh then triumphed in the second semifinal against José de Sousa. The Belgian took the win 7-3 to set it up.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
