Jamie Hughes will begin his bid to defend the Swedish Open title against either Belgium’s Anders Åström or Sweden’s Christian Johnsson tomorrow.
Hughes beat Ryan de Vreede 6-1 in last year’s final and starts his title defence with a last 128 tie against either Åström or Johnsson tomorrow afternoon.
BDO number one Glen Durrant and reigning Lakeside champion Scott Waites head up the list of seeds for the Category A tournament, which was first held back in 1969.
With the race to qualify for the World Championship at Lakeside now into its final months, the likes of Dave Parletti, Bradley Kirk and Conan Whitehead will be hoping for a good run to boost their chances of qualifying automatically.
