MASTERY FROM MERKX! A hat-trick of big finishes were the key as Alexander Merkx claimed the 2024 Men's Romanian Open title. 'The Great' produced checkouts of 147, 164 and a match-winning 111 to beat Patrik Kovacs 5-3 in the final.
The two singles tournaments at the WDF tournament in Romania produced Dutch winners. Jimmy van Schie and Alexander Merkx took the overall victory.
The final of the Romanian Classic had two Dutch finalists. Van Schie and Merkx both managed to reach the final and after an exciting match the win went 5-4 to Van Schie, who captured his first WDF title.
However, Merkx was able to redeem himself by also reaching the final of the Romanian Open. In the final match of that tournament the Dutchman was 5-3 too strong for Patrik Kovacs. For Merkx it is his third WDF ranking title.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
