Multi-time Euro Tour winner Dave Chisnall is back discussing this week’s action and bids to successfuly defend is Euro Tour Darts Crown in Leverksen on Sunday. Read his thoughts exclusively for kwiff ahead of another huge few days of darts.
Dave Chisnall: Looking to go Back-to-Back in Leverkusen 2025
I’ve got good memories of Leverkusen, grinding out v Ross Smith in the final here last year to bag another Euro Tour Trophy here in Leverkusen 12 months ago. I was riding the crest of the wave around then, coming off the back of a good Pro Tour win in Hildesheim, that really helped propel my season.
Dave Chisnall: Power of Positivtiy
Fingers crossed we can have lightning strike twice, based on a good couple of outings there in the Pro Tour last week, when finishing runner-up and getting to the Last 32 in what have been my best results of the season so far. It’s been a real struggle so far, and I can’t really put my finger on why. We all make excuses about balance, getting the right schedule and the work/life balance etc but truth be told I probably didn’t have my head in the game the first few months of the season and it showed with my results.
Dave Chisnall: Dark Clouds Lifted
The defeat to Ricky Evans – who’s a great guy by the way – really hit me harder than I cared to let on and the hangover crept into the start of this season. I feel something of black cloud has been lifted since however, and I’m trying to channel this concept of posititivy. I’ve got a bit more perspective about things and trying to lighten up a bit. You see a lot of other things going on around the world and, whilst we all to win, it’s not the end of the world if you lose a game of darts.
Dave Chisnall: Scores to Settle
Cam beat my 3-1 in the new PDC World Masters tournament in Milton Keynes but I’ve been pretty vocal about that format and, given where my head was around late January, it’s no surprise I never showed up. The race to two legs to win a set proper blagged my head and I was never happy there. And it’s not a dig at the venue – I like it down at Milton Keynes – and got to the QFs when losing to Michael (Van Gerwen). Anyway, that’s in the past now, and I have a good record against Cam – beating him at the Worlds the year before last – fingers crossed we can add another W on Saturday.
Dave Chisnall: King Cool Hand
Like many other darts fans I was watching the Premier League Finals from The 02 after what will have been a long 17 week slog for the players. Balancing that schedule, with other events, and a home life with a wife and kids etc is so tough and it’s a testament to World Number 1 Luke Humphries that he lifted the trophy on Thursday. He’s an unbelievable role model for the sport and a terrific bloke to boot. The sport is lucky to have him. Whilst all the plaudits and headlines often go to his namesake – Humphries for my money is the number one man in the sport at this time.
