Martin Schindler qualified for the last sixteen at the Baltic Sea Darts Open in Kiel on Saturday evening by dealing with his compatriot Lukas Wenig (6-4) in the second round.
After this match, a lot of pressure fell off Schindler. "We have now started the new year. This is now the first event of the European Tour and I know that Lukas is a very dangerous opponent," Schindler stated in the interview afterwards.
Four Players Championship tournaments have been played so far, which, apart from a final spot for Clemens, have not gone particularly well for the German players. From that, Schindler draws his motivation to shine on the PDC European Tour in order to maintain his high position on the Pro Tour rankings. "On the Pro Tour in England, things didn't go so well for the Germans so far and I wanted to do better now.
Support from German fans
Schindler also enjoyed the passionate support of the German public. "The European Tour is fantastic. To play in front of the German fans, I don't think there is anything better. I think it's brilliant and I'm happy to be part of it. Every year I love it."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024

- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
