Jarno Bottenberg has been crowned the TOTO Dutch Open Darts champion of 2024. In a thrilling final against Wesley Plaisier, Bottenberg came out on top thanks to a fabulous finish: 131.

The match started off rough. Both players struggled with doubles in the first leg. However, this didn’t faze Plaisier. He comfortably won the first set 3-0 without encountering any trouble. In the second set, Bottenberg started to find his rhythm: he took the first leg with a 56 finish. Despite falling behind in the same set, Bottenberg managed to level the score.

Even after four sets, the score remained tied; the fifth set would determine the winner. In that fifth set, Bottenberg began strong. He claimed the first two legs and had a match dart in the third. Although it was missed, the decision came in the fourth leg. Bottenberg hit a 131 finish.

Greaves dominates in Assen
Beau Greaves has once again emphasized her dominance in the women’s circuit. After winning the doubles title earlier in the day with partner Jo Rolls in convincing fashion, she also secured the title in the singles tournament. She defeated Aileen de Graaf: 5-1.

Greaves also had something to set straight. Last year, she lost on the same stage to the Dutch player. She began the match with 19, 15, and 16 darts. However, De Graaf didn’t give up. She hit a 100 finish with two tops to keep the match exciting. However, there wasn’t more to come. Greaves regained her momentum and clinched the last two legs.

This is the second time Greaves has won the TOTO Dutch Open Darts. She achieved the same feat in 2022.
