On Sunday evening, Stefan Bellmont became the first Swiss in history to step onto the biggest darts stage. In the venerable Alexandra Palace in London, the native Zug, who is ranked 124 in the world, met the world number 36 Jermaine Wattimena (NED) in the first round of the World Cup.
The foreigner from Switzerland showed his class time and again and scored the maximum score of 180 points five times in his World Cup debut (Wattimena twice). In the end he had to concede the victory to his opponent with 0:3 sets.
Exit in the 3rd movement
After losing two sets 1:3, the 35-year-old got his only break in the third round and a little later even a dart was set when the score was 2:2 in the legs. But he missed a potential “high finish” on double 12 so Wattimena made the all clear in the next shot.
With a 3-darts average of 92.95 points, he was only 5 points behind his competitor. The Dutchman will face four-time World Cup semi-finalist James Wade in the second round on Monday.
