Jose de Sousa survived a fight back from Dave Chisnall to reach his maiden TV Quarter-Final with a 10-7 victory in the Grand Slam of Darts.
De Sousa spoke afterwards and his confidence was up there as he called it the ‘best year’ of his life in darting terms.
"This is a dream for me," said De Sousa. "I'm in the Grand Slam for the first time and in the quarter-finals, so it's amazing.”
"It was a strange game, but I'm happy that I won. I started much better than Chizzy and I punished him, then I missed a little bit and he punished me, and at the end I came strong again."
"It's the best year of my life in darts," he added. "For me it is not a surprise, but for many people maybe it is. My confidence is getting better and better and I'm starting to play like the top players."

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
