Van Barneveld also spoke about how he has been taking measures in terms of his fitness and that as a result he is feeling good. Finally he also said about how getting results for him is a catalyst to work harder.
"To be at The O2 in May is where everyone wants to be and I believe I can do it," said Van Barneveld. "It's two big points.
"Peter has been struggling for the past couple of weeks but it's a massive result for me and my finishing was perfect. Since the UK Open I've been working hard on my fitness and I'm feeling good.
"I've got five points from the last three matches so I'm really happy and it makes you want to work harder when you're getting the results."
