The two players were victorious in the women\u2019s pairs tournament by beating Rhian O\u2019Sullivan and Chris Savvery of Wales in the final: 4-2. The men\u2019s pairs tournament was won by Thibault Tricole and Andy Baetens.<\/p>\n<p>De Graaf and Rietbergen played themselves to the final of the women\u2019s pairs tournament on Friday and played particularly well on that day already. They continued this fine form on Sunday on the main stage of the Bonte Wever in Assen. O\u2019Sullivan and Savvery were able to keep up only four legs, but after that the Dutch duo ran with the victory. De Graaf and Rietbergen won two legs in a row and the deciding double was thrown by Rietbergen.<\/p>\n<p>Rietbergen, only nineteen years old, won her first pairs title at the Dutch Open. De Graaf knows the feeling of winning at the main stage in Assen, since she won the women\u2019s pairs title for the third time. In 2016 en 2017, De Graaf and Sharon Prins were victorious in Assen. De Graaf also won the women\u2019s singles tournament three times already.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s pairs tournament came to it\u2019s climax on Sunday as well. The trophy was won by Thibault Tricole and Andy Baetens, who beat Neil Duff and Barry Copeland in the final: 5-1. The men played their way to the final on Friday already, just as the women did. Winning the men\u2019s pairs tournament at the Dutch Open is an unique experience for Tricole and Baetens. They never managed to do this before.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6487&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600 x 400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6491&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600 x 400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Foto: Stefan Roelfsema[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;]<div class=\"gt-heading gt-dark gt-size1 gt-center\"><div class=\"gt-title\">ANDER <span>NIEUWS<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;]<div class=\"gt-event-listing\"><div class=\"gt-columns gt-column-3\"><div class=\"gt-col\"><div class=\"gt-inner\"><div class=\"gt-event-style-3\"><div class=\"gt-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchopendarts.nl\/en\/event\/dutch-open-darts-2027-dates-announced\/\" title=\"Dutch Open Darts 2027 Dates Announced\"><img width=\"952\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchopendarts.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/260402-20260208-BasvandenBerk-952x579.jpg\" class=\"attachment-eventchamp-event-list size-eventchamp-event-list wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchopendarts.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/260402-20260208-BasvandenBerk-952x579.jpg 952w, https:\/\/dutchopendarts.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/260402-20260208-BasvandenBerk-130x80.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"gt-content\"><div class=\"gt-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchopendarts.nl\/en\/event\/dutch-open-darts-2027-dates-announced\/\" title=\"Dutch Open Darts 2027 Dates Announced\">Dutch Open Darts 2027 Dates Announced<\/a><\/div><div class=\"gt-details\"><div class=\"gt-date\"><i class=\"far fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><span>2 April 2026<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gt-text\">The dates for the Dutch Open Darts 2027 have been confirmed.
