Nathan Aspinall clinched the German Darts Grand Prix in Munich, beating Danny Noppert 8‑5 in the final. The Stockport ace added a fourth European Tour title to his 2025 haul, earning the $35,000 prize. His steady form returned after a shaky start to the tournament.

Aspinall opened the final day by dispatching Martin Schindler, then swept six straight legs to defeat German No 1 Andrew Gilding in the quarter‑finals. In the semi‑final, a 106.40 average sent Kevin Doets packing, ending a run of six consecutive losses to the Dutchman.

During the final, Aspinall rattled off four consecutive legs from 5‑4 down, averaging 100.35 and hitting seven 180s to blunt Noppert’s comeback. A 128‑checkout sealed the victory, as Aspinall matched Phil Taylor’s record of four European Tour titles.

The win restores confidence to a player who admitted feeling “buzzing” after a season of setbacks. Aspinall’s dominant display, coupled with his 100.35 average, highlights the intensity of the European Tour circuit. As the calendar progresses, this triumph positions him as a dark horse in the remaining events, keeping fans and rivals on edge.
