WDF
Jeffrey Sparidaans has become the new winner of the Dutch Open Darts in Assen. After Jelle Klaasen (2022), Berry van Peer (2023) and Jarno Bottenberg (2024)0, Sparidaans is the fourth consecutive Dutch winner at the largest open darts tournament in the world.
The men's singles tournament began on Saturday with many thousands of participants. Sparidaans played his way through the first day without any problems. He successively defeated Vandi Arends (3-0), Leopold Stuetz (3-1), Gert-Jan Beun (3-0), Nikolas Wirtz (3-1), Mathijs Zantingh (3-1) and Marcel Beernink (3-0) to secure a spot in the last 128.
Well-known names such as Jimmy van Schie, Jarno Bottenberg, Martijn Kleermaker, Brian Raman, Wesley Harms, Jeffrey de Zwaan, Jerry Hendriks and Danny van Trijp also managed to qualify for the final day of the singles tournament, while Maikel Verberk, Moreno Blom, Gino Vos, Jimmy Hendriks, Geert de Vos, Geert Nentjes, Mareno Michels, Darryl Fitton and Ron Meulenkamp were among the players who did not survive the first day.
The remaining 128 men began the remainder of the tournament on Sunday morning. Sparidaans followed up his tournament by beating Jamie Kelder (4-1), Corné Groeneveld (4-3), Vincent van der Meer (4-0) and Daniel Zapata (4-2) to secure a spot in the last eight.
In the quarterfinals, he was 5-2 too strong for Mario Robbe, after which Danny van Trijp awaited in the semifinals. Van Trijp was defeated 2-0 in sets (3-2, 3-0). David Fatum became the other finalist. The American had surprisingly won from Davy van der Zande (4-3), Jimmy van Schie (4-3) and then Martin Kleermaker (2-0 in sets), among others. A new stunt did not materialize, as Sparidaans managed to win the final 3-0 in sets to take the top prize of 6,000 euros.

- Like to see him back to his best with none of the whinging and whining that became part of his game. Actually doubt he will ascend the heights again, to much else on his mind.Mysstree17-02-2025
- Shouldn’t the manager be responsible as well? If the tax rate is xx% amount and you win xxxx, you don’t have to be a genius to work out how much to put aside. In the UK if you put 20% aside from winnings you are at least covered for the basic income tax rate, if you have over £50,000 winnings then put aside 40% of everything over it. Most sportsmen don’t seem very bright.Mysstree17-02-2025

UndartedWaters14-02-2025 - Phil,you are a legend. I suggest you get your own board and darts,and reconsider,as you couldn't beat anyone on the seniors tour,and it sounds sadly,like you're after 1 final payout. Stick to retirement,and let us all remember you for the genius you wererick6714-02-2025
- It's not about Luke LIttler. I am a big fan of his, and I feel sorry for him too, as he would want to win these games without the crowd being biased one way or the other. Regardless of who is playing or where, I want to see a fair contest.UndartedWaters14-02-2025
- Do you honestly think that this type of crowd noise only happens in the UK? When Dirk van Duijvenbode faced Luke Littler - Dutch Masters, 2024... he was jeered far worse than tonight. Where was your outrage then? Stop being so biased and sensitive about an 18-year-old. Honestly, some of my fellow Brits have a real problem supporting their own fellow countrymen and women.MrYnyslas197114-02-2025
- Rob Cross would have glided over the line with 6-2 had the crowd not gotten very hostile. You could see it was bad enough to put him off. It's a shame for the sport. I just want to see the better player on the night win, not players getting booed and belittled for no reason.UndartedWaters14-02-2025
- The BBC used to be a broadcaster for the people. But, sadly, it's not been that way for a long time, despite the people bankrolling it..UndartedWaters12-02-2025
- This is i believe the second best performance by a woman against a man in a ranking event? Mensur Suljovic was ranked 11 when Fallon Sherrock beat him at the World Championship, Rock is ranked 17 currently.Mysstree12-02-2025
- This would be logical except that Aspinall (as far as i can see) won literally no ranking tournament in 2024, Price won a couple of non ranking events, Dobey at least won 3 Players Championship rounds.Mysstree11-02-2025
