WDF Europe Cup Men Singles 2010

Turkey is one of the new and ambitious members of the World Darts Federation. Participant since 2006 and already in 2010 they are allowed to organize the seventeenth edition of the WDF Europe Cup. From 13 to 16 October, the Grand Haber Hotel in Kemer is the setting for a fantastic, sunny, European Cup. All records in terms of number of participating countries are broken. In the men, 28 countries participate and in the ladies 27. New countries such as Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, but also countries that are back after a short absence such as Estonia and Greece.

The last eight in the singles is a mix of famous names and a few unknowns. In any case, the old-timers are doing well in 2010. Mike Veitch from Scotland wins 5-3 against Scott Waites from England. The other remaining Englishman also crashes out here. World champion Martin Adams loses in a ninth and deciding leg against Welshman Martin Phillips. His compatriot and pairs partner Wayne Warren is also doing very well, winning 5-0 against the surprising Fin Jaakko Kliski, who had eliminated Tony O’Shea earlier in the tournament. The last four are completed by Dutchman Willy van de Wiel, who defeats Irishman Martin McCloskey 5-1.

The two Welshmen then play against each other in the semi-finals. The one-sided game is won by Phillips 6-1. Willy van de Wiel beats Mike Veitch 6-3 in the other semi-final. After Roland Scholten, Co Stompé, Raymond van Barneveld and Niels de Ruiter, Willy van de Wiel is the fifth Dutchman to reach the singles final.

In the final, Willy van de Wiel has to acknowledge the superiority of Martin Phillips. The Welsh man is unstoppable this year and wins 7-3. As a result, the WDF Europe Cup singles remains in Wales after Mark Webster had won the last two editions.
