Nebrida beat almost only compatriots on his way to his fourth Asian Tour title of the season. At the last 32, he defeated Chinese Lihao Wen, but otherwise beat compatriots Alfie Ramos Ferrer (4-1), Ryan Khristoffer Condat (4-1), Reynaldo Rivera (4-1) and Sandro Sosing (5-4) for a spot in the final.
In the final against Ilagan, all the legs went with the darts and there were also break chances only in the last leg. However, Ilagan failed to throw out 80 for the title and Nebrida won the match with a 20 finish.
Meanwhile, 18 of the 24 tournaments have been played on the PDC Asian Tour 2024. After all the tournaments, the top four of the final rankings qualify for the World Darts Championship. Leading the ranking is Alexis Toylo with $15,000. Following that are Paolo Nebrida ($11,800), Ryusei Azemoto ($9550) and Lourence Ilagan ($8700). Man Lok Leung ($7750) is currently the first pursuer.
The final six tournaments of this Asian Tour season will be played from Oct. 4 to 6 in the Chinese city of Qingdao. So after that, we will know the first four Asian qualifiers for the Darts World Cup.
