Rupprecht into second round of European Tour for first time: ''Still can't quite believe it''
PDCSaturday, 27 May 2023 at 12:30
Pascal Rupprecht made it to the second round of a Euro Tour tournament for the first time at the European Darts Grand Prix on Friday. He defeated Christian Kist 6-5.
The German dart player found himself a couple of breaks behind against the Dutchman, but eventually managed to turn a 4-5 deficit into a narrow victory. Afterward, Rupprecht looked back on the game against Kist.
"We both struggled a bit in the beginning. The decider was very important. I was a bit lucky there that he didn't put much pressure either. He also played fantastic otherwise and I'm glad I took the win in the end," he analysed afterwards.
Rupprecht appeared out of nowhere early this year. Without having played a single PDC tournament, he captured a PDC Tour Card at the Q-School.
And so reaching the second round at the European Darts Grand Prix marks another milestone for Rupprecht. "I still can't quite believe it. I am now looking forward to Saturday (when Dave Chisnall awaits in the second round, ed.), it will definitely be a fun match."

- 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
