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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
