De Zwaan looks to climb Order of Merit with World Championship success: “I think it's just a matter of time”

Jeffrey de Zwaan is seeded 23rd at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship. The Dutchman will meet the winner of the game between Ryan Joyce and Danny Lauby.

"This is a pretty tough draw", De Zwaan said on RTL 7. "I am confident because after my shoulder problems I am starting to get back on form. Moreover, it is great that an audience can be present again. I have missed it in recent months. "

De Zwaan has been known for some time as a great talent, but making the step to the darting elite has not yet been successful. "I have nothing to defend at the World Championship, so if I get far, I may be able to seriously climb the world rankings", he continues. “I already know that I can, I think it's just a matter of time. If players like Dimitri van den Bergh can win a major, why wouldn't I succeed? "
