Peter Wright had to settle for second place at the German Darts Championship on Sunday night. The 53-year-old Scot lost 8-4 to Ricardo Pietreczko in the final of the European Tour tournament in Hildesheim.
That leaves the final balance of the Euro Tour season at one title for Wright, who did come out on top earlier this year at the Czech Darts Open in Prague. 'Snakebite' played a fine tournament until the final of the German Darts Championship, but could not get going against Pietreczko with an average of just 85.
"It wasn't there in the final," Wright admitted post-match. "I couldn't push him but fair play, he beat some fantastic players all the way through the tournament."
Wright had also lost to Pietreczko earlier this year at the European Darts Open. ''I've played him before and he beat me up last time, I know how he can play. He's a fantastic player and it's great for darts."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
