UK Open Darts 2022 Draw | Van Barneveld to face Borland in Minehead

The draw for the 2022 Ladbrokes UK Open has been made, with Raymond van Barneveld set to face Willie Borland.

The multi-board event known as ‘The FA Cup of Darts’ will return to Butlins Minehead from March 4-6 with a total prize fund of £450,000 on offer.

Two-time UK Open Champion Van Barneveld will begin his campaign in Round Three against Borland – who famously hit a nine-dart finish in a sudden death leg at the recent World Championship.

A jam-packed opening session will see the opening three rounds take place across multiple stages on Friday.

Round One is comprised of the Tour Card Holders ranked from 97-126 along with players from the 2021 Challenge and Development Tours and 16 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers.

Main Stage action will begin with two First Round ties, including 2016 semi-finalist Jelle Klaasen against Mark Rice in a battle of two Rileys Qualifiers, as well as former World Youth Champion Bradley Brooks up against Rowby-John Rodriguez.

Second Round ties on the Main Stage will include emerging Welshman Lewy Williams up against Germany’s Martin Schindler, as well as World Cup winner John Henderson and prospects Keane Barry and Connor Scutt.

Adrian Lewis, the 2014 champion, will also begin his campaign on the Main Stage, with his Third Round opponent to be one of four players who have to battle through the early rounds.

Stage Two matches from Round One include Canada’s Matt Campbell against Poland’s Sebastian Bialecki, who hit a nine-darter in last year’s tournament, while Madars Razma and Jamie Hughes face off in Round Three.

First Round winners will be joined by Tour Card Holders ranked 65-96 in Round Two, with the 32 second round winners joined by Tour Card Holders ranked 33-64 in Round Three.

The world’s top 32 enter the event in Friday evening’s Fourth Round, including reigning champion James Wade, world number one Gerwyn Price and former UK Open champions Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Nathan Aspinall.

The action continues on Saturday March 5 with the fifth and sixth rounds across two sessions, before Sunday’s action is played out on the Main Stage.

Tour Card Holders Boris Koltsov and Michael Unterbuchner will not be competing in Minehead. Koltsov withdrew on Monday after the draw had been made, meaning his scheduled Second Round opponent Brian Raman receives a Bye. Unterbuchner’s withdrawal last week sees Scott Waites receive a Bye in the First Round.

At the conclusion of the third round, an open draw will be made live on the Main Stage for the fourth round, with further draws to be made following each subsequent round.

Players will compete for a £100,000 top prize, with a total prize fund of £450,000 on offer being paid down to the last 96.
