Van Peer and Puha among quarter-finalists in singles tournament at WDF World Cup

Berry van Peer still has a chance to win the title in the singles tournament at the WDF World Cup. Wednesday the men's singles tournament started and was played until eight names remained.

Four Dutchmen started the tournament. Ryan de Vreede lost to Croatian Ivica Cavric (4-1) in the last 128. Jelle Klaasen went down at the last 64 against James Hurrell (4-1), while Wesley Plaisier stranded in the same round against Filip Ljubenko (4-3).

Van Peer did manage to reach the quarterfinals after victories over Marcus Haider (4-1), Reece Colley (4-2), Peter Machin (4-3) and Ricky Dunlop (4-0) in succession. Against Colley, 'Bionic' also threw an average of 101.76 per turn.

The Dutchman will play Bruce Robbins of the United States in the quarterfinals on Friday. Other familiar names who are in the last eight are Haupai Puha and Brandon Weening, who have made regular appearances at World Series tournaments on the PDC circuit in the past.
