José de Sousa has qualified for the second round of the International Darts Open thanks to a 6-3 victory over Cor Dekker.
De Sousa did not know his opponent beforehand. "Yeah. He surprised me," the Portuguese reflected post-match. "I never knew of this player but he pushed me and I had to play my best game."
De Sousa had a slow start, but once he found his rhythm, played some really good darts. "In the beginning of the game the doubles just didn't happen for me," he explains. "I just thought to myself 'keep scoring and it'll change for me'. In the end that's what happened and I'm very happy."
The 50-year-old Portuguese will take on reigning world champion Luke Humphries in the second round.

- I hope it does get some harsh crowd treatment,,, it should not even be there. However, it failed at it own XY chromosome level... so now - it has to try and make itself look good playing amongst the ladies. Not good.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I agree with you, thebogeyman... I hope it gets the full hairdryer treatment. An imposter (failed male) that has to compete with women to look good. Grim.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I can imagine van Leuven will indeed be booed out of the building and championship, the crowd will be on his back reminiscent of when Justin Pipe played Phil Taylor. The crowd are usually boisterous and out of control at the best of times.richieburnettrocks21-10-2024
