In fact, it was mainly Schindler’s foul doubles play that was the key to Rydz’s spectacular victory as he advanced to the last 32.
Schindler’s doubles remained at 3/28 throughout the match and it was easy to see why from the first game when he missed a set for 156 in the deciding match and Rydz came back to steal it and take the lead.
Ironically, he could also have won the set by hitting nine darts. Rydz continued to take advantage of Schindler’s shocking doubles situation, increasing his score to 18 and giving him a three-set lead.
Things didn’t get much better for Schindler. After further unsuccessful attempts, Rydz hit a double seven and led 1-0. From that point on he had the last dart in his hand on double 10 and again Schindler missed darts he could have held and Rydz was there to seal the victory.
Another quite big name that is not doing well at the World Darts Championships while Rydz continues to develop. He returns after Christmas, but for Schindler, after an incredible year, he joins the annals of Mike de Decker, Ritchie Edhouse, among others. for failed deliveries in Ally Pally. Back to the drawing board in 2025.
