Cross on effect of Van Gerwen and Anderson crashing out after Ratajski win: 'Everyone believes they can win it now and it's positive'
PDCThursday, 25 July 2019 at 15:04
Rob Cross claimed a brilliant 11-5 victory over Krzysztof Ratajski to stake his claim further for the World Matchplay crown and to move through to a first Quarter-Final at the Winter Gardens.
Cross spoke afterwards and admitted that it is not enough just to get to the last eight but it is amazing to get through.
He added also about Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen heading out that everyone believes they can win it now and that the players left are positive of their chances.
'I love this place, I've never done anything here I've never really played any good and to be honest with you, to get to the last eight is amazing but it's not enough,' said Cross to LiveDarts.
'I just want to go out there and produce, it's a great arena obviously and it's very special.'
'With Gary and Michael gone, obviously everyone believes they can win it now and it's positive.'

- 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
