Danny Noppert is door zijn finaleplaats op de Dutch Darts Championship gestegen naar de elfde plek op de PDC-wereldranglijst, zijn beste positie ooit.
Noppert verloor zondagavond in de finale van het Euro Tour-toernooi in Zwolle van Michael Smith (8-7), nadat hij onder meer Martin Schindler, Peter Wright en Callan Rydz had verslagen.
Hoewel de Fries nog maar één plek verwijderd is van een intrede in de top-10, is de achterstand op nummer tien Rob Cross fors. Cross heeft namelijk een voorsprong van 32.750 pond op Noppert.
In de top-50 van de wereldranglijst was er verder nog maar één andere wijziging. Mervyn King nam de negentiende plaats over van Damon Heta. Boris Krcmar, verrassend kwartfinalist in Zwolle, passeerde Steve Beaton en Raymond van Barneveld en is nu de nummer 55 van de wereld.
