Wessel Nijman has reached the Slovak Darts Open semi-finals after beating Mike De Decker on finals day in Bratislava. The Dutchman’s run keeps one of the weekend’s strongest stories alive at the Incheba Expo, where the first Slovak staging of a PDC European Tour event has produced a string of high-profile exits and fresh momentum for emerging contenders.
Nijman’s win over De Decker was reported during Sunday’s live finals-day coverage, with the match moving him into the last four of the £230,000 event, according to the PDC’s Slovak Darts Open finals-day latest.
Nijman Keeps European Tour Push Alive
The result matters because De Decker had arrived in the latter stages with one of the weekend’s standout scoring profiles, while Nijman has been trying to convert his floor form into a deeper European Tour statement.
With Michael van Gerwen already out and several seeds gone, Nijman’s semi-final place gives the evening session a sharper Dutch angle. It also puts him within one match of a final that would carry ranking value, Matchplay context and a clear marker before the next stretch of PDC events.
For Nijman, the task now is to turn a composed quarter-final win into the kind of Sunday finish that changes how his European Tour campaign is viewed.
