Durrant on title chances after seeing off Wright: "You've got to grab these opportunities"
PDCThursday, 23 July 2020 at 09:00
Glen Durrant is through to the Quarter-Finals of the World Matchplay in a draw which has been blown wide open after he dealt with the latest seed, Peter Wright.
Next up for Durrant is Vincent van der Voort as he aims to go one further than last year and reach the final with an opportunity to win his first PDC Major title. He said despite his performance not being up to his standard that he has to utilise the chance he has.
“I’m always looking for perfection. I just had a really bizarre time up there, I just felt the treble 19 was the smallest treble on the board, and treble 19 was a huge part of my game," said Durrant post-match to Online Darts.
“I knew Peter wasn’t at his best, but I’m really happy.”
"You've got to grab these opportunities. I talked about my age, my experience. The Quarter-Finals of the World Matchplay aren't gonna come everyday of the week so I've got to grab these chances while I can."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
