Glen Durrant enjoyed a dream World Matchplay debut easing past Adrian Lewis to set up a tie with Michael van Gerwen as a result in the second round.
Durrant spoke afterwards and called it a special feeling to move through. He added that for him it was the reason he came to the PDC and that he felt the support from the crowd. He added that he hopes they are there on Tuesday when he faces off against Mighty Mike.
"I'm really happy now and it's a special feeling," said Durrant. "I came to the PDC because I wanted to play the best in the world and I'm a huge fan of Adrian Lewis.
"It was a magical feeling tonight and I had great support from the crowd - I hope that they're back here on Tuesday when I play Michael too!
"It's a great opportunity to showcase my talent - I'm a proud BDO champion and on Tuesday I will play the best player in the world."

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
- It is simply not true to say that these 5 players are guaranteed to keep their Tour Cards. At least Karel Sedlacek, Dylan Slavin and Stephen Burton are in danger of losing them, especially if they fail to win their first round match. Connor Scutt, Wesley Plaisier and the three mentioned players will be fighting hard for their Tour Cards.mxxiv27-11-2024
