WDF World Cup Men Singles 2001

After Europe, North America, Australia and Africa, the WDF World Cup will also conquer Asia for the first time in 2011. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is the setting for the thirteenth edition of this tournament. It will be played from September 26 to 29.

With 27 participating countries in the ladies, 26 in the men and seven in the youth the tournament is slightly less visited than the previous editions, but the tournament is still a resounding success. Thailand makes its debut in 2001 at a WDF World Cup.

Full dominance by the English men in Malaysia in the singles. All four men reach the last four. They all beat a Scandinavian player in the quarterfinals. John Walton defeats Finn Jarkko Komula 4-1, Andy Fordham defeats the other Fin in the last eight, Marko Pusa 4-0. Martin Adams wins 4-1 against Swede Stefan Nagy and Mervyn King does the same with Magnus Caris, only the result is 4-2. A round earlier, Caris had ended four unbeaten years of Raymond van Barneveld in the singles.

In the semi-finals, Adams then beats King and Fordham beats Walton. The final is a great match that needs all seven legs to finally designate Adams as the winner. With that, Adams takes the title for the second time after 1995.

It is the first time in the history of the WDF World Cup that a men's singles final will go between two compatriots, let alone all four semi-finalists from the same country.
