Heta in relaxed frame of mind heading into European Championship: "I'm not trying too hard anymore"
PDCThursday, 27 October 2022 at 12:10
Damon Heta will avoid Joe Cullen for the first time in a major for the past few tournaments when he faces Vincent van der Voort on Thursday night at the European Championship.
Heta comes off the back of winning the Gibraltar Darts Trophy and sealing a third ProTour crown last Friday and he is in a relaxed and confident frame of mind as a result.
“I am looking forward now. I really want to push on in these big tournaments,” insisted Heta.
“I’m not trying too hard anymore. I’m more relaxed, I’m throwing quicker and things are happening.
“I think I’ve nailed it down to stick to my game – believe in what I’m throwing, believe in my action.
“I feel like life is going easy at the moment, so when you’re on a high like this, I’m going to let it ride, and hopefully it rides to the top.”

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
