European Darts Open - Final Qualifiers

GERMAN teenager Max Hopp was amongst the players who won places in the European Darts Open in the Host Nation Qualifier and European Qualifier on Thursday night.

Hopp overcame Matheus Ziolkowski, Mick Hasse and Bernd Roith to earn his place in this weekend's £100,000 European Tour event, which will be held at the Maritim Hotel in Dusseldorf.

He was joined in winning through Thursday's Home Nation Qualifier by Tomas Seyler, Jyhan Artut and Andree Welge.

Hopp now meets Justin Pipe on Friday night in the first round of the European Darts Open, while Seyler faces Simon Whitlock, Artut takes on world number four James Wade and Welge will come up against new McCoy's Premier League Darts champion Michael van Gerwen.

The European Qualifier saw four Dutch players win through to the main event, alongside two Belgians and a pair of Austrian throwers.

Bobby Biemans will make his European Tour debut after defeating Rocco Maes and Carlos Rodriguez, and his rewards is a clash with former European Championship finalist Wayne Jones.

Jerry Hendriks will meet John Part after he defeated David von Allmen, Roland Scholten and Antonio Alcinas to qualify, while Jelle Klaasen progresses to a clash with Brendan Dolan and Mareno Michels will play Wes Newton.

Belgium's Ronny Huybrechts - a Players Championship runner-up recently - defeated Vincent van der Voort in their decider in the European Qualifier, and he now plays Peter Wright.

His fellow countryman Kurt Van De Rijck will meet Robert Thornton, while Austrian pair Mensur Suljovic and Maik Langendorf will play Andy Hamilton and Ronnie Baxter respectively.

The European Darts Open will be played from May 17-19 at the Maritim Hotel in Dusseldorf, with coverage streamed exclusively live through www.LIVEPDC.TV.
