Gian van Veen advanced to the World Series of Darts Finals semifinals in Amsterdam by defeating compatriot Dirk van Duijvenbode 10-8 at AFAS Live. The last remaining Dutch player will face England’s Ross Smith, who beat Josh Rock 10-7. In another quarterfinal, Jonny Clayton surprisingly eliminated world champion Luke Littler 10-4, ending Littler’s bid to win all televised tournaments this year. Clayton will later play Gerwyn Price, who defeated James Wade 10-7. The winner of the finals in Amsterdam can earn 100,000 pounds, which does not count toward the world ranking.
