Danny Noppert has secured his place in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts after defeating German debutant Lukas Wenig in the quarter-finals. Following the match, the Dutchman gave an interview to the English broadcastersโan interview that has since gone viral due to a striking remark he made, as seen in the footage circulating online.

The English pundits reacted with visible surprise, unsure how to interpret Noppertโs unexpected comment. The Frisian star himself laughed it off, clearly amused by the moment. Coincidentally, one of the โLukesโ he referenced will stand across from him on the Grand Slam stage on Sunday afternoon.
Noppert will contest the second semi-final of the session, where he is set to face Luke Littler. Before that match begins, the first finalist will already be known, emerging from the clash between Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price, who open Sundayโs play.
