𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗖𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗼 𝗨𝗞 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻... What a weekend for Danny Noppert as he wins his first ever TV ranking final!
Danny Noppert surprisingly managed to win the UK Open on Sunday night. The Freeze is the fourth different Dutch winner since the start of this tournament in 2003.
Roland Scholten won the second edition of this tournament in 2004. Raymond van Barneveld then won in 2006 and 2007. In 2007 he won the final at the expense of compatriot Vincent van der Voort.
Michael van Gerwen took the UK Open title in 2015, 2016 and 2020. With Noppert, the trophy is in Dutch hands for the seventh time.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.

If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
