Marijanovic after brilliant opening round win in Riesa: ‘My motivation is higher this year’

Robert Marijanovic saw off Jan Dekker 6-4 as the International Darts Open in Riesa got started.

Marijanovic hit a 100.63 average en route to victory and admitted afterwards that every time he plays on the big stage it’s a great feeling.
Also he said that his motivation is higher this year than ever as he is a tour card holder.
"Every time I play on the big stage it is a great feeling even though I have qualified often over the last few months," said Marijanovic, who is starring in his fifth European Tour event of 2018.
"Being on the road with the PDC is the best time of my life. My motivation is higher this year as I have the advantage of being a Tour Card holder.
"I had my last walk-on song for a couple of years now and I thought it would be time to change it. The result is David Hasselhoff!
"I look forward playing Daryl [Gurney] tomorrow. Everything is possible in darts and I will try my best to defeat him of course."
