Reaching the final was already a significant challenge, and beating Beau Greaves along the way seemed like an unattainable goal. The Englishwoman appeared untouchable in the first few rounds, until she unexpectedly lost a leg to Mercedes Pieters in the last 64. This proved to be a sign of what was to come later that day, as, to everyone\u2019s surprise, the three-time world champion did not make it to the final.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd watches in awe: Rietbergen celebrates There were no real surprises until the quarterfinals. Eight strong women, all of whom had already made their mark in the sport, remained in the competition. Paige Pauling, the teenage talent from England, showed once again in the Netherlands that she was on her way to the top. Beau Greaves was still too strong, but this could lead to some exciting matchups in the future. Aileen de Graaf was the most disappointed after this round: despite reaching the doubles final on Friday, she missed multiple match darts against Rhian O\u2019Sullivan the following day.<\/p>\n<p>Only one Dutch player made it to the semifinals: Lerena Rietbergen, who had her breakthrough last year at the senior level, fully lived up to her status. It wasn\u2019t easy for the number two seed throughout the day, but in the semifinals, she played with no hesitation. For Lorraine Hyde, the day was just too long, but for Rietbergen, it was the perfect length: she steamrolled over the Scottish player with a 4-0 scoreline, causing the crowd to erupt in cheers. Just moments before, the same crowd had gasped in disbelief when Rhian O\u2019Sullivan pulled off the impossible. The Welshwoman, who had already won the warm-up tournament on Thursday, came back from a 3-2 deficit against Beau Greaves, then hit a 17-darter in the decisive leg. Earlier in the day, she had also averaged over 102: what a sensation in Drenthe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Text: Dartsactueel<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8168&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600 x 400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/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.
