Durrant on going from Premier League triumph to COVID battle: "From the greatest moment of my darting life, I'm fighting my own demons"

Glen Durrant will head into his second PDC World Championship as a Premier League champion and in a recent interview with the PDPA, he discussed that and going from the highs of that to the lows of having severe COVID-19.
"The Premier League was the highlight of my darting life. To beat Gary Anderson and Nathan Aspinall to become the Premier League champion is something you go to bed at night and dream about, I knew I wasn't 100%, I didn't play great. But I thought that was part of the story that the way Glen Durrant wins is by grit and determination. If someone's going to win the Premier League with an 87 or a 92 average, it's going to be me." said Durrant to PDPA.
"I thought it was fatigue, something similar I had when I'd won the Lakeside. I got told while I was in a German airport I had COVID, I haven't felt 100% since. In fact I'm even going to the GP tonight to get some blood tests because I'm still not 100%. From the greatest moment of my darting life, I'm fighting my own demons."
The mental aspect of the sport
This week, the PDPA have began a Mental Health & Wellbeing week and it is something that Durrant helps with as part of his management stable.
"I'm very lucky I've got a great team around me. If you have struggles, I'm maybe the guy you can pick up the phone to and chat. Ted Evetts is my priority at the minute, he's been going through a tough time but with bundles of talent. I speak to people like Luke Humphries just to say they've got tremendous talent. So when I read the Humphries story, I was the first person to send him a message to say if you want a chat I'm here."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
