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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
