King pleased with win over Dekker despite tiebreak drama: ‘I was happy with how I played’

Mervyn King saw off Jan Dekker in tie break drama where he almost threw away his lead but despite that he knew that at some point, Dekker would come good.

He also said that he was pleased with his win; as well as that he said he hopes his practice game will come out later this tournament. "I made hard work of it," admitted King. "I should have won that easily but I knew Jan would come good at some point in the match because he is a great player. "I was happy with how I played but I have been practising really well. The important thing was getting over this hurdle and hopefully my practice game will come out later in the tournament." for more information about the PDC World Darts Championship, including schedules and the prize fund breakdown.
