Last week, barely 10 days after his lost semi-final at the Worlds, Van den Bergh was already competing at the Bahrain Darts Masters. "We had thought of scheduling a holiday this month, but that backfired a bit," the 28-year-old Belgian told Het Nieuwsblad. "But my missus also says: This is your job. So that's why I went to Bahrain for the first time, where I get to represent the PDC. Always an honour."
Immediately after his return from Bahrain, Van den Bergh and his family still left for a short holiday to Tenerife. At the end of this week, he is already back at the Nordic Darts Masters, a World Series tournament he managed to win last year.
In his opening match in Copenhagen, he will meet Madars Razma. The latter promised to do a dance with him on stage last year.
"I have to start with apology. A year ago I promised Dimi to dance together his walk on song before our next game on stage I'm sorry mate, I guess I was lazy to practice dancing," said Razma.
