Berry van Peer looked set to fully enjoy his final match at the Grand Slam of Darts on Monday night. 'Bionic' tried to get the crowd involved and meanwhile also made fun of opponent Josh Rock, who managed to win the game 5-1.
People in the audience seemed to be amused by the remarkable scene on stage, as they happily yelled along at Van Peer's gestures. On social media, however, there were many disapproving reactions to the Dutchman's behaviour, as they felt 'Bionic' did not seem to take it seriously.

"I think it's hilarious people calling me a clown," Van Peer wrote afterwards on his official X (Twitter) account. "I've lost 2x, I wasn't gonna go through anyhow. He was always number 1 in the group. What am i supposed to do?? Not have fun?? Great, I had fun, Josh and I had fun. I'm okay with it. I'm a clown, yes. Did I have fun? Yes."
Van Peer then explained why he wanted to have fun on stage. ''Six years ago I was full of emotion on stage,'' he alluded to his battle with dartitis during the 2017 edition. ''I've returned as a Challenge Tour winner. I've battled for years, showed how to keep fighting. I'm proud of myself I don't care about anyones opinions."

- Well done Mike – good to move on and look to the future. With his talent, and increasing confidence on stage, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the month ahead.

- 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
