NOPPERT SEALS IT IN STYLE! 🇳🇱 Danny Noppert is one win away from glory on home soil! The UK Open champion produces a brilliant 121 finish to defeat Callan Rydz and reach the Dutch Darts Championship final! Up next 👉 Andrew Gilding v Michael Smith 📺 bit.ly/PDCTVLive
Repeat or revenge as Noppert faces Smith in UK Open final rematch at Dutch Darts Championship

The final is set at the 2022 Dutch Darts Championship and it is a repeat of a major final already played this year between Danny Noppert and Michael Smith.
The crowd in Zwolle vociferously chanted the name of Danny Noppert to theme tune of a children's TV show, Pippi Longstocking as they got behind their final home hero and it proved to spur 'The Freeze' onto a superb victory.
He sealed it 7-2 with a 103 average, five 180's and 7/11 on the doubles to progress to the final which was sealed with a 121 checkout on double 18.
Smith will still rue the missed opportunity to seal his maiden major title that was the UK Open and will look to get a measure of revenge by defeating Noppert on home soil.
In moving through, 'Bully Boy' denied Andrew Gilding a maiden European Tour final who was handed chances by a visibly frustrated Smith who knew he wasn't at his best but these weren't taken when they mattered most by 'Goldfinger'.
This allowed the St Helens ace to seal a 7-4 victory with a 142 checkout and a 98.4 average and he will aim to seal his first European Tour title since Gibraltar in 2017

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
