Max Hopp reaches last 16 games, Michael van Gerwen fails



[ad_1]

The best-placed German dart professional, Max Hopp, has joined the UEFA European Championship darts final (live on DAZN) in Dortmund. The 22-year-old has clearly defeated the Irishman William O & Connor 6-1. Compatriot Martin Schindler failed in the world rankings below James Wade 3-6. Even Michael van Gerwen had to pack his bags with surprise.

Hopp will face Englishman James Wilson in the next round, who also won 6-2 over Jonny Clayton.

"The Maximizer" started the first leg immediately with an arrival at 164 points and was able to use his chances of following. Although Hopp missed some doubles, he stayed calm and won the match: "Right from the start, a lot of pressure fell off my shoulders and I thought, damn it, today, you're on stage "said Hesse.

The game has been overshadowed by the inappropriate behavior of his opponent O & # 39; Connor. This was booed from the beginning and was deliberately provocative, inciting the public to make stimulating gestures and behaving in an unsportsmanlike manner towards Hopp, for example, took his place after his throws.

Martin Schindler with a bad day

Schindler, 22, had a bad day and no longer manages to catch up with the 3-0 lead of James Wade. The Englishman played a middle game but with 84 points for three darts, Schindler brought only too few triples to the disc.

Van Gerwen lost in the second round at 07:10 against Steve West the short straw. The world rankings stayed behind for most of the match and gave his leg at 7: 8 to allow West to play for the match. And the Englishman did it brilliantly: he doubled his match dart for 20.
