Sunday evening is the final of the World Darts Championships at AFAS Live in Amsterdam. Four other men are competing for the title and will decide in the semi-finals and subsequent final who emerges with overall victory.
Of the four semi-finalists, Michael van Gerwen is the only player to have actually won the tournament. Mighty Mike was the best in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. It was his last World Championship Finals title for some time. After tough victories over William O’Connor (6-4) and Dimitri van den Berg (10-8), Luke Humphries became the opponent in the semifinals. The Englishman won his previous two matches over Krzysztof Ratajski (6-3) and Rob Cross (10-2).
The other semi-final will be between Nathan Aspinall and Peter Wright. Aspinall eliminated Danny Nobert (6-3) and Keegan Brown (10-5), while Wright defeated Hubai Buha (6-4) and Raymond van Barneveld (10-6). Wright had already reached the World Championship finals in 2015 and 2016, but faced Van Gerwen each time.
