Dave Chisnall wins his second European Tour title of 2024 at the Flanders Darts Trophy

Chisnall defeated Ricardo Pietreczko 8-6 in the final to join Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright as the fourth player to win eight European Tour titles.

Competing in his 100th European Tour event, Chisnall overcame Wright and Chris Dobey in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively earlier in the evening at the Antwerp Expo.

“I’m really happy, it means a lot to me to win this,” said Chisnall, who moves up one place to sixth on the PDC Order of Merit.

“The crowd were great, they brought the best out of me all weekend. I’ve played a great tournament; I got lucky against Peter [Wright] but apart from that I think I deserve to win the event.

“Backstage my manager told me it was my 100th European Tour event so I said to him ‘let’s go win it then’ and thankfully that’s what I’ve done. I will win a TV event one day, it will happen. I won’t give in until it does.”

The final began with Chisnall opening up leads of 3-1 and 4-2, before Pietreczko reeled off a trio of legs to take the lead for the first time at 5-4.

Pietreczko, whose epic semi-final win over Luke Humphries saw him become the first German to reach two European Tour event finals, then took a 6-5 lead to move within two legs of a second European Tour title.

However, Chisnall landed checkouts of 87 and 115 to regain the lead before a third straight leg saw him claim the £30,000 top prize.
