A total of 4,096 players began the Open Singles tournament in Assen on Saturday morning! By the end of the day, only 128 players remain. They will advance to the final day, where one of them will claim the Dutch Open Darts 2026 title on Sunday evening.
Many well-known names secured their spots in the last 128 on Saturday. Martijn Dragt, Ron Meulenkamp, Florian Hempel, and Jitse van der Wal all booked their places for the final day.

However, several familiar faces were eliminated on the first day of the singles tournaments. Berry van Peer, the Dutch Open Darts winner three years ago, was defeated by Pieter Collijn (3–2). Jelle Klaasen, the 2022 champion, also fell on Saturday to Koen den Hartog.
