Here darts professional Martin Schindler imitates his colleagues
Martin Schindler is not only one of the best German darts professionals. He is also an excellent impersonator. Here he recreates six world-class players. Do you recognize these players?
Martin Schindler has reached the quarterfinals on the European Tour for the fifth time. After falling behind early on, the German turned the match around in an impressive manner in Kiel. Getting into the semi-finals for the first time would also be reflected in the world rankings.
Dhe start was extremely bad. Martin Schindler gave up his throw in the second leg and fell 2-0 behind against Damon Heta in the round of 16 of the Baltic Sea Darts Open in Kiel.
But then the German darts professional started, not only equalized a little later to make it 2:2, but also didn’t allow the Australian a single pass. Schindler won six legs in a row and closed on double 10 to make it 6-2. “Damon is one of the most consistent players and you have to play good darts there,” said the 26-year-old. what he did

Schindler played an average of 96.55, threw four 180s and hit six of his 13 attempts on doubles and ultimately made it through to the quarter-finals (from 7 p.m. / DAZN live).
There Schindler, who defeated his compatriot Lukas Wenig 6: 4 at the start of the first tournament in 2023 on the European Tour on Friday, will meet Dave Chisnall on Sunday around 8 p.m. The Englishman defeated the Welshman Gerwyn Price 6:4 in a high-quality match peppered by a total of 20 180s. Chisnall ended up with an average of 107, Price was eliminated despite a 108.29 point average and a 57.1 percent checkout rate. Whether he can preserve the outstanding form for the last matches in the evening?
“We’ll see,” Schindler said after his success and, looking at his own timetable, added with a wink: “That was the first step today. And now I’m looking forward to the second. You never know what’s going to happen.” It’s already the fifth quarter-final appearance of his career on the European Tour. However, he has never made it into the last four. Should he defeat Chisnall, he would surpass Daryl Gurney in the Order of Merit for 26th, placing him higher than ever.
