Aspinall Claims German Darts Grand Prix Title with Victory Over Noppert
Nathan Aspinall has secured his fourth European Tour title, emerging victorious in the German Darts Grand Prix with an 8-5 win over Danny Noppert in the final. Aspinall, who had previously won three European Tour titles in 2025, made a triumphant return to form in Munich, overcoming a determined effort from Noppert to claim the £35,000 top prize. The Stockport star produced a remarkable comeback, winning four consecutive legs from 5-4 down to seal the victory, achieving an average of 100.35 and hitting seven 180s to thwart Noppert's bid for his maiden European Tour crown. Aspinall's path to the final included a narrow escape against Ricardo Pietreczko on Sunday, before accounting for Pietreczko's World Cup partner Martin Schindler on the final day. He then defeated Andrew Gilding in the quarter-finals, followed by an impressive performance against Kevin Doets in the semi-finals, where he averaged 106.40. Aspinall's victory sets him up for a strong run in the Premier League Darts, which continues with Night 10 in Brighton on Thursday. The BetMGM Premier League season is heating up, with Michael van Gerwen taking on Gian van Veen in an all-Dutch showdown, while Luke Humphries and Jonny Clayton go head-to-head in the evening's opener.
