Max Hopp saw off Dave Chisnall on Sunday afternoon at the World Matchplay in a thrilling contest which saw 'The Maximiser' come through in a tie-break in the end.
Hopp spoke afterwards and said that he knew that the tie was going to be tough but that in reality he just took his chances. He also said that for him it is in his top five career wins now and that he can't wait to play in the next round.
He added that for him now he's got more mature he feels like he can go far as there isn't as many nerves on the stage as a result now.
"It was a thriller and a really difficult game to win," said Hopp. "I knew it was going to be tough but I took my chances.
"In parts today I averaged well over 100, I fought back into the game and I'm glad to win 11-9 in the end.
"It's in the top five wins for me; the Winter Gardens is an amazing venue and I can't wait for Tuesday - I'm excited to be in the next round.
"I'm still 22 but I'm more mature now. The nerves are settling now on stage and I think I can go far."

- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- 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
