Dolan adds new highlight to his career: ''To beat Michael van Gerwen on a big stage, I’m over the moon"

Brendan Dolan pulled off one of the biggest shocks in World Matchplay history on Sunday night in Blackpool by sending defending champion Michael van Gerwen home at the World Matchplay.
Dolan was deadly on the two- and three-dart finishes. Thus, "The History Maker" threw out 82, 46, 75, 76 and twice 62, among others, to win his legs.
It eventually led to a 10-7 victory for the Northern Irishman. ''To beat Michael van Gerwen on a big stage, I’m over the moon," Dolan responded after his match.
Dolan referred to his victory over Van Gerwen as one of the highlights of his career. ''Michael was unbelievable in Poland last weekend. I know he’s suffering after his operation and he’s trying to recover, and it wasn’t the Michael we have come to expect tonight," Dolan said. “Obviously the highlight of my career was the nine-darter and beating James Wade in the World Grand Prix semi-finals, but this win is definitely right up there.”

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
