Hopp finds out cause of downturn in form: "I was found to have Pfeiffer's disease"

Max Hopp has not been playing as well as usual this season but the German Number One has found out what has caused this.

Hopp had not been feeling well for a while and even sat out the UK Open and then visited a doctor: “It was hard to climb some stairs and I sweat lots at night. Upon further investigation, I was found to have Pfeiffer's disease. The doctor immediately prescribed me flat rest, otherwise I might suffer from it for a long time, ”said the German in conversation with RTL7 Darts .

'The Maximiser' has also not started the year well. "Correct, my results were not satisfactory. But I now know what caused it. After all, if you are not healthy you cannot perform properly. ”

He is gradually feeling better though which he hopes can benefit the rest of his season. “I still have to take a lot of vitamins, but I notice a lot of improvement. I can start looking forward again and when the Pro Tour starts again I want to play well again ”, the 23-year-old German concludes.
