About European Championship 2022
The fifteenth edition of the European Championship was held at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund from 27 to 30 October. Rob Cross is the defending champion, but he doesn't get past James Wade in the first round.
The tournament will be a surprising tournament anyway. In the first round Gerwyn Price loses to Rowby-John Rodriguez and Michael van Gerwen is also out after the first round losing 6-5 to Chris Dobey.
Michael Smith makes it to the semi-finals by beating Karel Sedlacek, Josh Rock and Luke Humphries. In the semi-finals he plays against Dirk van Duijvenbode who successively beat Madars Razma, James Wade and Danny Noppert with strong performances. It was be a fantastic semi-final in which Michael Smith is victorious 11-7.
In the other semi-final two surprising names. Chris Dobey continues his great form. After beating Michael van Gerwen, he also beats José de Sousa and Dave Chisnall. His opponent in the semi-finals is Ross Smith. Smudger has a great run beating Joe Cullen, Dimitri Van den Bergh and Peter Wright. In the semi-final, which gets off to a slow start, Smith takes a 5-0 lead, but sees Chris Dobey come back. However, at the end it is Ross Smith who is the best and qualifies for the final with 11-9.
For Michael Smith it is his seventh major television final, and he has lost the previous six. For Ross Smith it is his first final ever and the expectations are that Michael Smith, who is 24 places higher in the world ranking, should win the final. However, reality shows otherwise, Ross Smith plays a fantastic match and although Michael Smith offers very good resistance and makes little mistakes, but he cannot beat Smudger. Ross Smith has an edge from the start, and he never relinquishes it. The Englishman wins his first major by beating Michael Smith 11-8.
