Peter Wright has qualified for the last sixteen of the Belgian Darts Open. 'Snakebite' was too strong for Michael van Gerwen in the second round 6-4.
Both Wright and Van Gerwen remained well below their normal levels. “Obviously Michael has still got a shoulder injury and didn’t do much practice in the backroom. I was feeling sorry for him. I thought I’ve got a chance and I nearly threw it away," Wright reflected honestly in his post-match interview. "Normally you have to produce a ton-plus average to beat Michael, but I know he’s struggling with his shoulder injury."
"I knew beforehand that I definitely had a chance against Michael," continued the 54-year-old Scot. "Hopefully he gets better soon and starts playing the darts we know he can, and hopefully I do the same!”

- 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
