"I had chances in all my matches" - Martijn Kleermaker bows out of Grand Slam and perhaps professional darts
PDCWednesday, 15 November 2023 at 10:00
Martijn Kleermaker was defeated in his third group match at the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts, leaving the Dutchman winless.
Kleermaker, who had previously lost to Rob Cross and Fallon Sherrock in his first two group matches, went down 5-4 in his final match against Michael van Gerwen. "I had chances in all my matches, but then when you don't take advantage of them, you just don't deserve it," an honest Kleermaker toldViaplay.

"I still got out to a 4-2 lead and then you might think there's something in it, but my trebles just weren't falling," continued 'The Dutch Giant'. "I was searching for my best level the whole time. There were opportunities, because Michael was not at his best. This was really a 'seedpot' first class."
Kleermaker had already indicated before this tournament that this was probably his last major tournament for a very long time. The 32-year-old Dutchman finds it difficult to combine fatherhood with his darts career. At the end of this month he will have his chance at the qualifying tournament for Tour Card holders, where there are still some places to be fought for ahead of the upcoming World Championship.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
