Max Hopp will return to the PDC stage. On Sunday, Max managed to qualify for the German Darts Championship, which will be played from August 30th to September 1st in Hildesheim.
Hopp defeated Marcel Gomula (6-2), former Tour Card holder Michael Unterbuchner (6-0), LukasFraulob (6-1), Thomas Köhnlein (6-2) and Oliver Müller (6-5) on his way to qualifying. He last played on the European Tour in April 2022.
Niko Springer, Matthias Ehlers and Dragutin Horvat are the other three players who qualified alongside Hopp. Horvat showed class on his way to qualifying when he reached the round of 32 with an average of 107.85 in the last 16.
Nico Kurz, Nico Blum, Kevin Troppmann and Jan Dückers have qualified for the European Darts Open at the Host Nation Qualifier. The tournament will be played from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23, 2024 in Leverkusen.
Kurz, who was last active on the European Tour in 2023, defeated Niclas Wierling 6-2 in the first round and then Fabian Herz 6-1. In the last 32, Kurz left Leon Weber behind him 6-4 before knocking Liam Maendl-Lawrance out of the tournament 6-5 to reach the final round. Here, Kurz prevailed 6-3 against Dragutin Horvat.
Blum defeated Chris Massilge (6-4), Christopher Weiss (6-4) and Francesco Marcone (6-4), among others. A 6-5 win over Jarod Becker earned Blum a ticket to the European Darts Open. Blum last appeared on the European Tour stage in 2018. Reaching the second round was his best result here.
Troppmann recently took part in the Baltic Sea Darts Open. Here he met Gian van Veen in the first round, against whom the German lost. Now Troppmann has another chance to show what he can do on the European Tour, after beating Kai Gotthardt 6-3 and Daniel Skoda 6-4 in the qualifier. In the final round, Troppmann defeated Marcel Erba 6-2.
Dückers also only appeared on the European Tour stage at the beginning of the year. He made his debut at the International Darts Open and had the unfortunate luck of having to play Martin Schindler in the first round. He was one size too big for Dückers.
