Van den Bergh reaches maiden European Tour semi-final at German Darts Championship, set to face Van Gerwen

Dimitri van den Bergh has broke new ground on the European Tour by reaching his maiden semi-final by defeating UK Open finalist Michael Smith 6-3 at the German Darts Championship.
Neither player was at their best but Van den Bergh held the edge hitting an 87 average, two 180's and a high checkout of 106 despite only hitting 28.6% of his doubles.
He broke to go 3-1 up with a 68 checkout with Smith sat back at 25 and followed that up consolidating with a 106 checkout after Smith had just hit a 180 to pressure.
This proved the catalyst as Van den Bergh went on to seal it 6-3 and now he will face Michael van Gerwen who received a bye through due to Peter Wright's withdrawal.
Likely the favourite, Van den Bergh will know he will need to produce a better display to see off Mighty Mike.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
