International Darts Open: Martin Schindler upsets Gerwyn Price to win first PDC title

Germany's Martin Schindler upset third seed Gerwyn Price to claim the first PDC title of his career at the International Darts Open on Sunday.

Price, 39, was the two-time defending champion and has won the European Tour event a record four times overall.

The Welshman led the final but 27-year-old Schindler fought back to win 8-5, cheered on by a home crowd in Riesa.

He became the latest winner on the European Tour - 10 years after working for PDC Europe as a steward.

At one point the world number 24 was two legs down to the 2021 world champion, but he recovered to clinch victory and become just the third German player to win a PDC title.

Schindler's previous best on the European Tour was reaching the semi-finals of last year's event in Riesa and the German Darts Grand Prix two weeks ago, which was won by current world champion Luke Humphries.

The third European Tour event of this year's schedule saw Humphries dealt an early exit at the hands of Stephen Bunting, losing 6-4, while fellow top-10 players Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross and Damon Heta joined him in being knocked out in the third round.

Cross' conqueror Ritchie Edhouse was beaten 6-5 in the quarter-finals by Bunting, who then lost 7-5 in the semis to Price - a 6-5 winner over Ross Smith in the quarters.

After getting past Heta, Ryan Searle lost 6-2 to Chris Dobey and despite dumping out Aspinall, Danny Noppert lost 6-5 to Schindler.

The home favourite brushed aside Dobey 7-3 in the semis before sealing a memorable evening, dropping to his knees in disbelief after overcoming Price.

Van Gerwen sinks Littler to return to winning ways in Birmingham

Michael van Gerwen returned to winning ways in the BetMGM Premier League with Night 11 success in Birmingham on Thursday.

Van Gerwen had lost six of his last seven league matches ahead of his arrival in Birmingham, but the Dutchman reignited his campaign with hard-fought wins over Nathan Aspinall, Michael Smith and Luke Littler at the Utilita Arena.

The world number three won four straight legs from 4-2 down to deny Aspinall in a crucial quarter-final clash, aided by a spectacular 152 checkout in the penultimate leg.

Van Gerwen, the reigning Premier League champion, then produced a clinical display to see off Michael Smith in the semi-finals, converting a brace of ton-plus checkouts to set up a decider against Littler.

The teenager had won the pair’s last three meetings, but was punished for a below-par display by a spirited Van Gerwen, who ran out a 6-3 winner to scoop the £10,000 top prize.

Littler led 2-1 following an inauspicious start to the contest, but Van Gerwen responded with a clinical 125 kill, before winning four of the next five legs to secure his fourth nightly win of the season.

"It's about time," joked Van Gerwen, who moves up to third, four points adrift of table-topper Littler.

"I have made it a little bit hard for myself, but the most important thing is how you bounce back, and how do you reflect on the last few weeks.

"We all know the last few weeks have not been great for me, but to come back with a win here tonight feels good.

"I had to battle tonight. I had to dig deep. I wasn't playing my A-game, but this win gives me confidence of course.

"I believe in my own ability. You need to make sure you stay focused and that's what I've done, but there's still more to come."

Littler was unable to join Van Gerwen and Luke Humphries in claiming a hat-trick of successive nightly wins, but he moved two points clear at the top of the table after leaving the West Midlands with three points to his name.

The Warrington superstar kicked off his evening with a battling victory against Cross, who slipped to a fifth consecutive quarter-final exit after surrendering a 5-4 cushion.

The 17-year-old then fended off a valiant fightback from Humphries in an absorbing semi-final, averaging 107 and landing five 180s to sink the World Champion, who fought back from 5-2 down to level.

World number one Humphries had returned to winning ways on the Premier League stage in the evening’s opener against Peter Wright, reeling off five straight legs from 4-1 adrift to cement second spot in the table.

In the night's other quarter-final tie at a sell-out Utilita Arena, Smith denied Gerwyn Price in a high-quality affair, averaging 104 and pinning six of his nine attempts at double to close the gap on fourth-placed Aspinall to a solitary point.

The BetMGM Premier League roadshow rolls into Rotterdam next Thursday, as Van Gerwen makes his return to home soil against Humphries.

Littler and Smith will lock horns in the evening's opener at Rotterdam Ahoy, while Cross meets Price and Aspinall takes on Wright.

The 2024 BetMGM Premier League will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV for Rest of the World Subscribers.
