Despite that though, De Zwaan admits he is proud of how he played in the tournament but that his doubles did abandoned him half way through the loss. "Of course I am proud of how I played this tournament", said De Zwaan after the match on RTL7. "It is a pity that I lost to Gary Anderson" The first half of the game ran smoothly, then Anderson went from 7-7 to 14-9. Four misses on the double in the 21st leg (for 9-12) cost 'The Black Cobra' his chance of winning. "I just did not get my first dart. It did not feel good at all. I threw a hundred average, but it was too much work I think ", analyzed the 22-year-old Dutchman. De Zwaan also agreed that the doubles abandoned him halfway through the game. "When I missed those darts and saw Gary go out like this, I thought: I really left it there. It is a pity. I basically just played a good tournament. I am satisfied with the shared third place.
