At the European Darts Grand Prix we will see only two Euro Tour debutants. Obviously one from Germany, but more importantly the second Asian and the first Philippine player. #527 🇵🇭 Christian Perez #528 🇩🇪 Arno Merk #EDGP24 I #Darts I #ET4
Christian Perez makes history with win at European Darts Grand Prix
PDCFriday, 19 April 2024 at 19:00
Christian Perez's victory over Niels Zonneveld at the European Darts Grand Prix has created a special milestone. Perez is the first Asian player ever to win a match on the European Tour.
The Filipino was only the second Asian participant on the Euro Tour anyway. He followed in the footsteps of Hong Kong's Kai Fan Leung, who competed in two Euro Tour events in 2020. However, Leung failed to finish a match victoriously then.
So Perez succeeded. Thanks to his 6-4 victory over Zonneveld, the 42-year-old darter gets to battle two-time world champion Gary Anderson in the second round.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
