German darts duo surprises with triumph over Singapore in the round of 16!
An exciting weekend awaits darts fans, as the excitement at the World Cup of Darts is noticeably increasing. On Friday, June 13, 2025, the German darts players Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko celebrated another great success. The duo made it to the round of 16 of the World Team Championship and thus secured their chance to win the coveted trophy. With an impressive 4-0 win against Singapore, Schindler (28) and Pietreczko (30) show their skills on the international stage.
In the first game of the tournament, the German team beat Portugal 4-2. This victory was of great importance as a defeat against Singapore would have meant early elimination for both players. Schindler and Pietreczko, who were able to advance to the knockout round as group winners, harmonized splendidly on stage. Pietreczko, who was celebrating his World Cup debut, expressed understandable nervousness: "I'm wearing the German colors, a lot is up to me," said the player, who described Paul Lim, the 71-year-old darts veteran, as a "legend".
Strong opponent in the round of 16
The opponents in the round of 16, the duo from Singapore - consisting of the two players Paul Lim and Phuay Wei Tan - will certainly pose a challenge. Lim, who has shaped the darts scene for decades, has celebrated significant successes in his career. Schindler and Pietreczko have to give everything to survive against the strong Asian players.
However, the conditions are good: both showed excellent body language and team chemistry in the preliminary round. Schindler praised his partner Pietreczko as one of the best doubles partners, which indicates close cooperation and a lot of experience. The two coped well with the pressure and are accordingly focused on the upcoming match against Singapore.
Darts is becoming increasingly popular in Germany
The darts format has become more popular in Germany in recent years. The German Darts Association now has almost 20,000 members, an increase of 68% since 2018. And there are more and more events and tournaments that are putting darts in the spotlight. This development is not only promising for the professionals, but also for the young players. In Bavaria, darts is even occasionally part of school sports.
A look at the results of the first day of the tournament shows that other national teams also presented themselves strongly. The Netherlands won clearly 4-0 over Italy, while Belgium beat Latvia 4-1. Particularly noteworthy is the Asian team from Japan, which also prevailed after a 1:3 deficit against Croatia and won 4:3.
Darts fans can look forward to exciting games in the round of 16, where last year's winners England will also get into the ring with world champion Luke Littler. The winning team of the World Cup of Darts receives an impressive 80,000 English pounds - a sum that represents an attractive motivation for every darts player and the entire team.
For the German team it's all about everything. Get excited and keep your fingers crossed for Schindler and Pietreczko when they fight for a place in the quarter-finals on Saturday!
