Ricardo Pietreczko caused a sensation at the German Darts Championship last weekend. 'Pikachu' defeated Peter Wright 8-4 in the final.
Pietreczko, who was only 63rd in the world rankings before this tournament, is only the seventh player to win a tournament as a non-seed since the inception of the European Tour.
The first was John Part in 2013. Then we had Vincent van der Voort and James Wade in 2014, Max Hopp in 2018, Jamie Hughes in 2019 and Devon Petersen in 2020.
Pietreczko incidentally moved up to 53rd in the world rankings as a result of his tournament victory. The 28-year-old German is also certain to participate in the European Championship and the World Darts Championship.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
