In an interview with RTL Nieuws, De Zwaan gave an update on his injury and said that he has been building up his practice in the last month.

“I am pleasantly surprised. I no longer feel pain and I can stretch my arm normally again, I couldn't do that at first. And I no longer have any problems with throwing, ”says De Zwaan. “I have been practising a bit for over a month now and I am building it up in terms of hours. I think it is going quite well. ”

"It's a bit of a fresh start for me," De Zwaan continued. "I'm really looking forward to it. I've missed darts a lot in recent months. ”

Despite De Zwaan practising for another month, he goes to the PDC Summer Series without expectations. "I know roughly what my level is now. Occasionally I peak with a 100 average, but I have not been able to maintain that over a longer period of time. I just go there to see where I am. If I expect too much from myself now, I will be behind."

For 'The Black Cobra', the same goes for the World Matchplay which is straight after the Summer Series: “I just hope it's my day, because if I have my day, I can still win. I am feeling well and my arm is working again, so I'll go for it. ”
