'It's a fantastic win' - Dimitri van den Bergh speaks after coming through match with Jan Dekker
NewsSaturday, 23 December 2017 at 11:00
Dimitri van den Bergh is through to Round 3 and will play a close friend in Mensur Suljovic who is part of the same stable The Sportsman Management Company, ran by Mac Elkin. He defeated Jan Dekker, a player who could potentially have caused the Dreammaker some major problems.
But 'The Dreammaker' has kept his dreams alive with yet another brilliant performance and he spoke about this afterwards and admitted it was harder than he thought it was in the end to knock out the former 'Mr Coat'.
"I'll take that win," said Van den Bergh. "It's a fantastic win because I know me and him played against a seeded player in the first round so anything could happen and hallelujah that I'm the winner of that game.
"I need to keep calm but I've got to be honest it was harder than I thought it was, it was very hard."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
