Raymond van Barneveld was forced to celebrate his 57th birthday in Sindelfingen because he competed in the European Darts Grand Prix there last weekend.
The Dutchman gave himself an early birthday present on Friday by beating Franz Roetzsch 6-2 in the first round. A day later, Van Barneveld had to face Michael Smith on his birthday.
The celebration did not go unnoticed, as German fans sang the song "Happy Birthday" to the Dutchman prior to his match against Smith. Van Barneveld could clearly appreciate the gesture of the spectators and gave a sign of gratitude. The five-time world champion did, however, lose the match against Smith 5-6.

- 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

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
