After becoming the first man to come from 2 sets behind and win at this year's PDC World Darts Championship against Simon Whitlock, Jose de Sousa is now hoping it can kickstart a return to the kind of form that saw him crowned Grand Slam of Darts champion.
Despite not playing his best darts, the Special One showed guts and determination to mount a thrilling comeback and secure a place in round 3. "After the second break I told myself 'let's put pressure on Simon, maybe things will change' and that's what happened."
De Sousa has seen himself slip to number 17 in the world rankings after a disappointing year. After the struggles, the Portuguese is now starting to feel his confidence coming back. "I don't think about order of merit. I want to recover my game, make good performances and make the crowd enjoy my games."
"After the World Matchplay I start to play better again." he says. "In some ways it's like I see the light at the end of the tunnel." Awaiting the Special One in round 3 will be either Ryan Searle or Adam Gawlas as de Sousa looks to progress past the third round at the World Championship for the first time in his career.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
