"A late Christmas present for Damon Heta" - Berry van Peer laments missed opportunities in defeat at World Darts Championship

Berry van Peer could not continue his sensational World Darts Championship debut Friday afternoon. Despite a good start, 'Bionic' lost 4-3 in sets to Damon Heta in the last 32.
''Shitty game,'' Van Peer commented tellingly after the match. ''You get ahead 2-0 and then you just have to finish it, done. I just couldn't find a treble anymore. Very unfortunate. After the 3-3 I thought: get your own set, fine, but even then it didn't work out. In the end it was just a bad match", Van Peer said.
According to Van Peer, this was a great opportunity to reach the quarterfinals of the World Darts Championship. Had the Dutchman won over Heta, he would have faced Scott Williams in the last 16. ''There were a lot of chances there. Last time against Williams it was a win for me, but now it's not Scott Williams but my own bench.... I blew it myself. A late Christmas present for Damon Heta while Christmas is already over," Van Peer stated.
The 27-year-old darter from Sprundel secretly already dreamed of a clash with Michael van Gerwen in the quarterfinals. ''If I had won twice I would have to play against Van Gerwen. That would be funny, but the simple thing about darts is: you shouldn't have too much on your mind. That's when you throw best."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
