European Darts Matchplay ‘ET9’

Michael van Gerwen won The European Darts Matchplay on Sunday from Hamburg, Germany with an 8-2 win over Irelands William O’Connor.

Friday 29 Jun 2018

Article by ‐ PDPA

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN clinched his 26th European Tour title and a sixth of the year as he defeated William O’Connor 8-2 in the final of the European Darts Matchplay on Sunday.

The world number one hit a nine-dart leg against Ryan Joyce on Saturday evening, before backing up last month’s Gibraltar Darts Trophy crown with another triumph to continue his dominance in 2018.

The fourth staging of the tournament at the edel-optics.de Arena saw runner-up O’Connor enjoy his best ever run in a European Tour event, but Van Gerwen produced a sensational display in the final, averaging 105.17 as he picked up the £25,000 prize.

Van Gerwen hit an astonishing tournament average of 103.06 as he defeated Joyce in round two, before powering past Robert Thornton 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals.

The final session of the weekend saw the Dutchman see off a determined Ian White 6-4, followed by a 7-4 victory over Stephen Bunting to reach the final. “I am delighted to win this trophy and I’m pleased with how I played this weekend,” said Van Gerwen, who has lost just two matches on the European Tour in 2018.

“William played really well all weekend, it was a phenomenal performance from him but there can only be one winner and luckily it was me.
