Veenstra breaks down immediately
The level is very high at the beginning of the competition. Huybrechts is the first to get the chance to win. He missed two arrows in his favorite push. His Dutch opponent continues to hit error-free shots and immediately takes advantage. Now Hurricane has to take it up a notch.
13:54
Heiberchts vs. Feenstra: 0-1
The first group became prey for the Dutchman. Veenstra impresses with his high scores and records a perfect even ratio. Huybrechts isn't playing badly, but he's no match for Veenstra at the moment. Nothing happens yet in the moment the Belgian will be set.
13:52
Also the second stop for Feenstra
Not the ideal start for Kim Huybrechts. He easily finds his threes, but misses two chances to double 20. Veenstra, on the other hand, finds the double and scores another high with an 85.
13:49
Feenstra wins the first leg
Veenstra takes the first stop. Huybrechts applied great pressure with a 180, but the Dutchman countered that with a 136. Great start to this match!

Rise of the “hurricane”
“Rock You Like a Hurricane” echoes through the Ally Pally speakers. Kim Huybrechts is ready for his 13th World Cup start. Can he keep Belgian honor?

“Hurricane” in the World Cup
With Kim Huybrechts we can see the most experienced Belgian to date. It is the Antwerp native's 13th participation in the World Darts Championship. For his best result we have to go back to 2012. Then our compatriot lost in the quarterfinals to Andy Hamilton. Can he please Belgian darts fans again?
