It was a case of so near, yet so far for Michael Smith again on the European Tour. The Unicorn man, who has already won this year's Gibraltar Darts Trophy, was beaten in the semi-finals of the European Darts Open in Germany. He has also lost a final and reached the quarter-finals on the Euro Tour this year to guarantee that he will be one of the top seeds for the European Championship later this year. The tournament in Leverkusen was won by Peter Wright, who beat Mervyn King 6-2 in the final.
