Aleksandr Lvovich Oreshkin (Russian: Александр Львович Орешкин; born 15 July 1961) is a Russian darts player.
Career
Oreshkin qualified for the 2016 PDC World Darts Championship after defeating Anton Kolesov in the Final of the Russian Qualifier.[1] He played against Singapore's Paul Lim in the preliminary round, winning in a sudden-death leg to qualify for a first round match against 14th seed Mervyn King. Oreshkin won the first two sets before King took nine of the next 12 legs to win 3–2.[2] Oreshkin partnered Boris Koltsov at the World Cup of Darts and they lost 5–3 to the Netherlands in round one.[3]
Oreshkin and Koltsov met Australia in the second round of the 2017 World Cup after seeing off Hong Kong 5–3 in the first round. Oreshkin beat Kyle Anderson 4–2, but Koltsov failed to win against Simon Whitlock meaning a doubles match was required to settle the tie. Russia easily won 4–0 to make it through to the quarter-finals for the first time, where they could only pick up one leg in their singles defeats to the Welsh pair of Gerwyn Price and Mark Webster.[4]
