Martijn Kleermaker has been eliminated at the Grand Slam of Darts. The 32-year-old Dutchman lost his second group match 5-4 to Fallon Sherrock and cannot qualify for the next round with one match to go.
Kleermaker was regretful afterwards in front of the Viaplay cameras. "Right away in the first leg I got three darts on tops to break her. If that doesn't work then, you immediately have to chase."

"This defeat really hurts," said a tearful Kleermaker. "That I disappoint myself is ok, but that I disappoint my children is much worse."
Kleermaker had previously indicated that this will probably be his last major tournament for a long time. He still has a hard time combining darts with fatherhood. "I wanted to finish nicely here and that hasn't worked out for now. Nevertheless, I would still like to win that last group match, three times is hopefully the charm."
