Jermaine Watttimena has advanced to the final of the 2024 European Championship. 'The Machine Gun' won 11-10 over Danny Noppert in the second semi-final, leaving Wattimena to face Ritchie Edhouse in the final.
Wattimena had only made it to the last eight at a major tournament once in the past, but is having a sensational tournament with wins over Peter Wright, James Wade and Luke Humphries. This victory over Noppert allows Wattimena to report to a major final for the first time.
After the first six legs went with the darts it was Noppert who forced the first break. A 56 finish put the Dutchman ahead 4-3, after which it became 5-3 with a 120 finish. With a 13-darter and a 14-darter Wattimena returned to the match, making it 5-5 after ten legs.
In the third session, it was Wattimena who began to distance himself from his compatriot. After a 15-darter in the 11th leg, he saw Noppert miss four darts on tops in the 12th leg. Wattimena did find the double 20 to make it 7-5. Then a 23-darter was enough to make it 8-5.
However, Noppert did not give up yet and showed resilience by coming back to 9-9. Both men kept their own leg, so a leg-decider was needed. Wattimena was allowed to start the last leg and the darter from Machine Gun used this advantage with a 14-darter for the win.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
