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.

- 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
