Joining Chris Dobey and Dave Chisnall in the final four, Ricardo Pietreczko and Luke Humphries have completed the semi-final lineup at the 2024 Flanders Darts Trophy in Antwerp. A little later this Sunday evening, one of the four men will claim European Tour glory.
Dirk van Duijvenbode sensationally saw off Luke Littler earlier in the afternoon, but in the quarter-finals, Ricardo Pietreczko proved just a bridge too far for the Dutchman. After the first two legs were split, Pietreczko spurted into life, reeling off the next three without reply and stretching into a 4-1 lead. Van Duijvenbode did threaten a stunning comeback, getting back in contact at 5-4 down, but courtesy of a 15 darter in leg 10, it was 'Pikachu' who secured the win.
In the semi-finals, Pietreczko will face off against Luke Humphries. In an expert display from the world champion and world number one, 'Cool Hand Luke' averaged more than 104, with four 180s and six out of twelve on the doubles in a 6-2 beating of Ryan Searle at the Antwerp Expo.
After Humpries started by breaking throw in the opener, the pair exchanged holds of throw until leg 5 when Humphries broke again to move 4-1 clear. Although Searle did pull one more leg back, there was no stopping Humphries who reaches the semifinals in Antwerp.

- 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

- 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
