About Swiss Darts Trophy 2024
The first edition of the Swiss Darts Trophy will be held in Basel from 27 to 29 September. Martin Schindler wins the maiden trophy. He beats Ryan Searle in the final.
Schindler starts the tournament in the second round against Anton Ostlund. The Swede starts off strong, but eventually must relent 6-1. In the second round, the Wall is up against Stephen Bunting, who he sends home after a 6-4 loss. Schindler proves unstoppable and beats Raymond van Barneveld 6-4 in the quarter finals. In the semi-finals Josh Rock follows with 7-2.
Schindler places himself for the final against Ryan Searle. Heavy Metal also starts the tournament in the second round, and reaches the final after beating Roger Hertig (6-1), Madars Razma (6-2), Daryl Gurney (6-2) and Callan Rydz (7-1)
The final starts strong with Searle, hitting a 124 checkout on his way to a 4-0 lead, before Schindler finally gets his first leg on the board. Searle restores his four-leg cushion before Schindler lands a 142 checkout as the German continues to battle his way into the match. Searle moves within touching distance of the title as he takes out 93 in two darts to go 7-4 up but misses one dart at his favourite double top and two at double ten in the following leg. At 7-6, Searle once again goes low on double top before putting two darts outside the double ten wire. Schindler takes advantage with a 100 checkout to force a deciding leg in which he outscores a disconsolate Searle to seal the prize.
A dramatic final sees Schindler recover from 7-4 down as Searle misses seven match darts for what would have been his first European Tour success. Schindler becomes the first German player to win two European Tour titles, having tasted victory at the International Darts Open in April.
