Daryl Gurney claimed a nervy win last night over Ron Meulenkamp as the first batch of Quarter-Finalists was confirmed at the World Grand Prix.
Gurney spoke afterwards and admitted he put too much pressure on himself but that he did well to see it off in the end.
He gave a lot of credit to his opponent as well with ‘The Bomb’ coming back with a lot of fight to peg Gurney back.
"I put too much pressure on myself at times tonight but I think I did well to see it off in the end," said Gurney, who will appear in the quarter-finals at the Citywest Convention Centre for a third successive year.
"At 2-0 up with the throw I should've killed the game off but fair play to Ron, he showed a lot of fight and did well to come back.
"I think it was a combination of him raising his game and a slight dip in standard from myself.
"When it came to the final set I was thinking to myself 'whatever he does, he can scream in your face and jump around the stage, just you make sure you don't miss that double 16' and thankfully I found it."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
