James Wade put an end to Gian van Veen's strong tournament at the European Darts Matchplay on Sunday night. This also allowed the Dutchman to draw a line on the World Matchplay, which required a title in Trier.
However, Van Veen started the match promisingly. Finishes of 62 and 94 gave the 21-year-old dart player a 3-0 lead. In the sixth leg, however, he missed four chances to maintain the lead. Wade then levelled the match with a double 10.
Wade then broke Van Veen with a 12-darter, before 'The Machine' took advantage of another miss by Van Veen on the double. The left-handed darter then pulled off the 6-3 victory with a 15-darter.
Luke Humphries then became the last semifinalist at the European Darts Matchplay. Thanks to an average of over 109, he convincingly defeated Nathan Aspinall 6-2.
In the semifinals, Humphries and Wade face each other. The other semifinal is between Joe Cullen and Dirk van Duijvenbode. Later in the evening, the final will also be played.
