Drama at the German Darts Championship: Schindler narrowly fails!
The final day of German Darts Championship in Hildesheim caused a few surprises. Martin Schindler, who was hotly traded, had to admit defeat to Dirk van Duijvenbode in the round of 16. Schindler initially led 3-0, but was unlucky enough to miss two match darts before losing the match 5-6. This narrow defeat once again means Schindler's exit in this round.
Although it wasn't quite enough for Schindler in this tournament, he remains optimistic because he is already seeded for the upcoming European Championship - and in second place. His next challenge will be next week, where he can prove his skills again.
Impressive performances from the top players
A look at the other results shows that Nathan Aspinall will meet Jermaine Wattimena in the quarter-finals. Both players scored a tournament average of over 105 points, which suggests exciting games. Aspinall defeated Steve Lennon with a clear 6:2, while Wattimena Wessel also clearly defeated Nijman 6:2. Peter Wright also secured his place in the quarter-finals with a 6-4 win over Cameron Menzies.
The evening had even more surprises in store: Danny Noppert managed to defeat Gerwyn Price, who initially led 4-0, and ultimately won 6-5. Gian van Veen shone in his match against Jonny Clayton, which he clearly won 6-1.
