Daryl Gurney claimed an unlikely victory in some regard against the heavily fancied Peter Wright to move through to the World Matchplay semi-finals and he sees the big opportunity coming his way.
Gurney will now face off against Rob Cross on Saturday night in the first semi-final; he said that despite not being the best player in the world, he called himself a grafter who can beat these players.
He added that he might've shown composure but inside it was a different story as he came through a brilliant battle with 'Snakebite'.
"It might've looked like I showed composure on the outside, but inside I felt like a little kid," Gurney admitted.
"I know I'm never going to be the best player in the world, but I'm a grafter who can beat the best players in the world.
"As usual I did it the hard way, but I'm through now and I've got a massive opportunity to win this title."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
