And Van Leuven was unable to surprise in the quarter-finals. The 26-year-old had to admit that in Blackpool, England, she outperformed number one Greaves, who averaged higher: 82.36 to 72.08.
From the start, Van Leuven was way behind the times. Nineteen-year-old Graves held her leg and then broke her opponent. This was also the case for the next two matches. Van Leuven has bowled 100+ four times, while Graves has bowled nine hundred or higher.
Ellen de Graaf, the other Dutch participant, also failed to advance to the semi-finals. The 33-year-old lost 4-2 to Japan’s Mikuru Suzuki, who had a higher average per three arrows: 92.16 to 84.13.
The final of the men’s world championships is scheduled for Sunday evening. England’s Nathan Aspinall faces Johnny Clayton of Wales.
