The struggle of Ricardo Pietreczko: 'Pikachu' looking to capture a win against all Tour Card holders at least once

Ricardo Pietreczko has been doing particularly well lately. Just last month, for example, the 29-year-old German won the German Darts Championship.

Pietreczko has the striking nickname "Pikachu," a character from the Pokémon series. Where the goal there is to capture as many characters as possible, Pietreczko is also well on his way to achieving that on the Pro Tour.

Besides Pietreczko himself, there are currently 127 other players with a PDC Tour Card. Of these, he has already beaten 52. Including such big names as Michael van Gerwen (1 won, 1 lost), Jonny Clayton (1 won, 1 lost) and Peter Wright (2 played against, 2 won).

Against 23 others he has played at least once, but never managed to win. These include Michael Smith, Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries.

In addition, he never came out against 52 Tour Card holders. Thus, he is still waiting for a first meeting with Gian van Veen, Josh Rock and Nathan Aspinall, among others.
