Dimitri van den Bergh reached his first PDC ranking final this past Sunday losing out to Glen Durrant.
Afterwards Van den Bergh was full of admiration for his opponent; he said he looks up to the three time Lakeside World Champion. "When it comes to the stage, they all fear me, but when it comes to the floor tournaments, they're thinking 'Dimi is not really a great player'. "I was very happy with the way I played this weekend. "I wanted to win but it didn't happen in the final and well done to Duzza. "I love the man and I look up to the man, in the same way I look up to Gerwyn Price."

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
