After Lukas Wenig and Dragutin Horvat won through in the
afternoon session, there has been more Host Nation winners on the opening night
of the German Darts Championship.
Max Hopp, Gabriel Clemens
and Nico Kurz, three of Germany’s top players all claimed victories to delight
the crowd in Halle 39.
Clemens began and despite
not producing his best, he eased to a 6-1 win over Steve West with his doubling
proving pivotal. The latter only hit 1/5 while ‘The German Giant’ finished on
46% (6/13). This was despite only an average of 89.

difficult with the top German prospect reeling off five consecutive legs from 4-1
down to defeat Jason Lowe 6-4 with 75% on the doubles in a high quality affair.
The former averaged 97.5 while in defeat, Lowe was at 100 with two 180’s.
Hopp concluded the trio of
wins with the former World Youth Champion and European Tour winner delighting
the crowd with a 6-2 win with four 180’s en route against Reece Robinson. It
was a high checkout of 118 for ‘The Maximiser’ who now has Ian White next up.

- 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
