"This could be the year when I win a major": Confidence-laden Chisnall buoyed by recent European Tour success

Dave Chisnall will look for a third European Tour title in four tournaments at the European Darts Open in Leverkusen after lifting the Baltic Sea Darts Open last month.

Chisnall will face either Jim Williams or John Henderson and he is buoyed by a superb start to his season.

“I’ve got a great chance,” said Chisnall.

“I’ve started this season very well and I’ve got a lot of confidence in my own game.

“I’m playing super darts, big averages, and hopefully it’s my tournament again. I’d love to keep that winning run going. That’s my goal!”

But it goes back to last September when he won the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze and recently, he has been slamming in 117 averages and believes it could be the catalyst for a major run.

“Winning in Belgium last year was very important,” added Chisnall.

“Because the standard is so high at the moment, I started to doubt whether I would ever win another title again.

“I was playing really well at home in practice, but you’ve just got to believe and that’s what I did in Belgium.

“I’ve been hitting big averages, I’m starting to win tournaments again and I’m feeling more confident.

“I’m playing close to the top of my game right now, and I believe this could be the year when I win a major or two.”
