Jimmy van Schie and
Danny van Trijp have advanced to the final of the men's pairs tournament at the 2025
WDF World Cup in the South Korean capital Seoul, where a meeting with surprise finalists Italy await.
Van Schie and Van Trijp thus revenged for their disappointing participation in the singles tournament a day earlier, in which both Dutchmen were eliminated in the last sixteen.
After an easy 4-0 win over Gokhan Ulusoy and Ismael Erdem Saygili in the opening match, Van Trijp and Van Schie won 4-2 over both Jim Widmayer/Michael Neubert and Purevloov Tungalag/Yesuntumur Gantumur. Then the Dutch duo fought their way past Danny Porter/Mal Cuming 4-3. In the quarterfinals, things went a lot easier. Yuta Hayashi and Haruki Muramatsu were beaten 4-0, before reaching the final after a 5-1 win over Filipino duo Alexis Toylo and Noel Malicdem.
In the final, the Netherlands will take on the surprising Italian duo of Alex Bassetti and Daniele Petri. They managed to defeat successively Marko Kantele/Asko Niskala (4-2), Gerard McGlynn/Patrick Quinn (4-0), Adam Gawlas/Petr Krivka (4-0), Darryl Loughery/Chris Gilliland (4-3) and Yuichiro Ogawa/Ryusei Azemoto (5-4) for a spot in the final match.
