Can Conan Whitehead win against Max Hopp for the first time?

Conan Ross Whitehead, also called The Barbarian, has been playing darts since 2007. The Englishman has never played a 9 leg game, at least we don’t know of any. That could make this match interesting, because we know from previous PDC Home Tour pairings that a favorite did not always emerge as the winner. The barbarian is right-handed and uses 23g darts. Whitehead could only win 2 in the last 5 games. Namely against Jones W. with 3: 6 and against Bates B., also with 3: 6. The first game was a UK Open and the second a Players Championship 7. He lost 6: 4 against Cross, 6: 5 against Dobey C. and 2: 6 against West S.

Whitehead posted his 1st tournament win at the Kent Open in 2009. As a result, he was also part of the Winmau World Masters, but only made it into the top 72. He was at the UK Open in 2011, 2013 and 2014, but never got past a 64th place. He achieved further good placements on the Q-School Tour, where he won the tour ticket in 2019. At the European Darts Grand Prix and the Austrian Darts Open 2019, the Englishman was part of the first round. In the PDC Pro Tour, he reached the round of 16 in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, he was eliminated from the BDO World Cup in the quarter-finals. He was also a quarter-finalist at the BDO World Trophy and the Zuiderduin Masters in 2017. All in all, his performance is inferior to that of Max Hopp, who is 10 years his junior, which is why he does not have the favorite role, but this may not mean anything on the PDC Home Tour.

Can Max Hopp win the PDC Home Tour match against Conan Whitehead?

Max Hopp is considered the greatest German darts talent. The Maximiser, as it is called, has been playing darts since 2007 and has been a professional since 2012. He hasn’t played 9 darts yet but in return for Conan he played 22g darts. In 2012 he also achieved his first successes, with a 1st place at the Italian Grand Masters or WDF Open Vienna. From 2013 to 2017 and 2019 and 2020, he participated in the PDC World Championships. In 2019 and 2020, he made it into the third round. In 2018 he won the German Darts Open to list just a few of his milestones. Hopp too could only win 2 of his past 5 games. A 5: 6 win against White I. and a 1: 6 win against van Duivenbode was possible. He lost 4: 6 against Van der Voort, 3: 6 against Hunt A. and 6: 3 against Ratjski K.

Hopp won the WDF Winmau Dortmund Open at the age of 13. It was his 1st youth tournament. In his youth in particular, he often drew attention to himself and impressed with his achievements. In 2012 he won his first European championship in Antwerp. In 2015 he qualified for the World Cup in two different ways and completed a very constant year. In 2018, after 5 years, he missed the PDC World Cup qualification. In 2018 he celebrated his 2nd senior title at the PDC Players Championship. In 2019 he narrowly missed his 3rd PDC title. In the final, he was eliminated against Harry Ward. In 2020 he missed the World Cup round of 16 again and had to cancel his participation in the UK Open due to fever. All in all, we will see an exciting game here, which should go over many legs.
