Will Meulenkamp lose to Fan Leung for the 6th time in a row?
Ron Meulenkamp
Number 49 in the world
5 bankruptcies at a time
4 semi-finals 2019
Ron Meulenkamp is coming to the PDC Home Tour with a decent negative series, the first virtual tournament series of the largest darts association. The current 49th in the world could not win the last 5 games on the tour and has been waiting for a complete success since February. At that time, the 31-year-old Dutchman nicknamed “The Bomb” beat English veteran Mark McGeeney (# 67) 6-3 in the Players Championship 6. The next round Meulenkamp lost to Englishman Ian White (world number 10). Then there was bankruptcy for the left-hander on the European Tour against the Belgian Mike de Decker (number 100 in the world), at the UK Open against the Englishman Richard North (place 55) and at the Players Championships 7 and 8 against the number 66 of the World ranking Ted Evetts resp. against his compatriot Jan Dekker (# 58). In the first duel against Leung the bookmakers see Meulenkamp in the first match on the PDC Home Tour with the opponent at eye level. There are betting odds of around 1.90 for Dutch success.
Ron Meulenkamp only won 2 out of 10 defeats in the first 12 games of the season. The 31-year-old came in the PDC World Championship as in the previous year and now for the 4th time as the best performance in the second round. At the start, the Dutch defeated the New Zealander Ben Robb, then failed against the Englishman Chris Dobey (current number 20 in the world). After all, the Englishman made it to the round of 16. The Bomb has also been there: 2018 at the World Grand Prix and 2011 at the WDF World Cup. At the BDO World Championship, he made two sixteen finals before moving to the PDC in 2015. Last year was not so weak for the Dutchman with 4 semi-finals and a quarter-finals at the Players Championships. Against Fan Leung, Meulenkamp has to increase enormously compared to the last performances, otherwise we see only few chances for the 31-year-old.
Will Leung win the 5th game from the last 7 matches?
Kai Fan Leung
99th in the world rankings
4 wins from 6 games
PC quarterfinal 2020
Hong Kong Open winner 2019
Kai Fan Leung is coming to the PDC Home Tour as the quarter finalist of the Players Championships 7 in March. The 36-year-old from Hong Kong with the nickname “Fatbeauty” defeated the Englishman James Wilson (# 40), the South African Devon Petersen (number 56) and the Englishman Simon Stevenson (number 65 in the world rankings), then against the number 10 Ian White to be eliminated from England. The 99th in the world rankings came last at the Players Championships 8 after a success over the Englishman Michael Barnard (# 118) in the second round, where the end came against the Englishman Keegan Brown (number 30). This season Leung, who is left-handed like his opponent, won 10 out of 20 games with 10 losses. In the duel against Meulenkamp, the 36-year-old Leung is awarded the slight favorite role at a rate of around 1.80. The more experienced of the two definitely has the better shape and should have more self-confidence, so we definitely trust him to win.
Kai Fan Leung was only slightly out of the European tour last season. The Hong Kong Chinese reached the semi-finals of the Asian Tour in Malaysia in 2018 and the semi-finals of the Asian Tour in the Philippines in early 2019. The 36-year-old was able to repeat his home win from the previous season at the Hong Kong Open last year. He also won a darts tournament in Taiwan last year. As the winner of the Q-School, Fatbeauty released the tour ticket for 2020, reached the round of the Pro Tour once this season and was in the first round on the European Tour in Belgium and Germany. At the UK Open he came in the round of the last 96. If Leung has been able to transfer his form from the past few weeks into his own living room, there should not be much in the way of a success against Meulenkamp.
