Florian Hempel produced a brilliant victory over Martin Schindler seeing off his fellow German 3-0 on his PDC World Darts Championship debut.
Hempel spoke afterwards and was glad to get through the first hurdle against a close friend and also revealed his next target.
"I'm really happy about this win. I played against a friend so my thoughts first are with Martin, it wasn't an easy game for us but I'm happy to win this game. The 156 for the first set was really important," said Hempel post match.
"My target next is at the end of next year is to climb in the top 64, to hold the Tour Card one year more."
One of those targets is to play in the World Cup of Darts with a potential spot on the line if his brilliance continues.
"Why not, it's a long way to go but the chance is there."

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
