The four finalists of the women’s Pairs final at the 2026 Dutch Open Darts have been confirmed. Priscilla Steenbergen is the only Dutch player remaining on Sunday. Together with Jo Rolls, she will face Zehra Gemi and Aysegül Karagöz.
On Thursday, Emine Dursun became the first women’s winner of the 2026 Dutch Open Darts during the warm-up event, while Friday was dedicated to the Pairs tournament. A total of 212 women’s pairs started their quest for the two final spots at 10:00. Beau Greaves, who has held a PDC Tour Card since the beginning of this year, was not present in Assen, but Jo Rolls did travel to De Bonte Wever. The wife of WDF referee Nick Rolls formed a new and strong partnership with Priscilla Steenbergen. They appeared close to elimination in the last 32, but after falling behind 2–0, they eventually secured a 3–2 victory over Marjolein Noijens and Elvera Donders. In the six other matches they played, they did not lose a single leg, confirming their place in the final. Even the pairing of Lorraine Hyde and Adriana van Wijgerden-Vermaat was dispatched with ease.
Up to the last 16, there were few notable surprises. Lerena Rietbergen, who partnered with her mother Linda for this occasion, was eliminated in this round by Lotte Suomi and Milla Sainio. The Finnish duo were subsequently defeated by Zehra Gemi and Aysegül Karagöz. The Turkish pairing, featuring newly crowned girls’ world champion Gemi, delivered a strong performance throughout the day. They peaked in the semi-finals, defeating the experienced duo of Aileen de Graaf and Anca Zijlstra 3–1. For the first time in the history of the Dutch Open, Turkey will be represented in a final.
The women’s Pairs final will be played on the main stage on Sunday afternoon and will be broadcast live on RTL7.
