Wesley Plaisier en Corne Groeneveld bereiken halve finale op WDF World Masters in Boedapest

Er komt sowieso een Nederlandse finalist op de WDF World Masters 2024 bij de heren. Wesley Plaisier en Corne Groeneveld wisten de laatste vier te bereiken en staan op zaterdag in de halve eindstrijd tegenover elkaar.

Nadat beide Nederlanders op woensdag voorbij de poulefase kwamen, begonnen zij donderdag aan de knock-outfase. Plaisier gooide zich comfortabel naar de laatste 32 na zeges op Dennie Olde Kalter en Shaun McDonald, alvorens Plaisier tegen Gyorgy Jehirszki (5-4), Barry Copeland (5-4) en Jimmy van Schie (5-4) telkens matchdarts wist te overleven.

Ook Groeneveld had er al uit kunnen liggen. Hij doorstond matchdarts tegen Francois Schweyen (5-4) en Nico Blum (5-4), terwijl Groeneveld wel ruime zeges boekte op Darren Johnson (5-1), Darryl Christie (5-1) en Miroslaw Grudziecki (5-1).

In de andere halve finale gaan Connor Scutt en Kai Gotthardt het tegen elkaar opnemen. Scutt maakte in de kwartfinales indruk door met een gemiddelde van 110 te winnen van Jason Brandon (5-1). Eerder in het toernooi had Scutt al gewonnen van Jose Angel Molera (5-0), Sybren Gijbels (5-0), James Vanbesien (5-2) en Chas Barstow (4-2). Gotthardt haalde de laatste vier na overwinningen op Krzysztof Kciuk (5-2), Maximilian Czerwinski (5-1), Alexander Masek (5-1), Alexander Merkx (5-3) en Johan Engstrom (5-1).
