It's been a good few days for Christian Perez. Making the quarter-finals on his Players Championship debut earlier this week and now safely guiding Philippines into the knockout stages of the World Cup of Darts.
It seems as well, that the visa issues that have plagued his 2023 season ever since winning a Tour Card at Q-school, are finally behind him. "It's really amazing that we go through this far," Perez tells Online Darts after Philippines 4-1 win over the Czech Republic. "Everybody back home is very happy with our achievement."
"This time we prepared for everything," Perez continued before his teammate Lourence Ilagan chimes in. "Honestly he sleeps with me more than with his wife!"
Attention then turned to Perez's battle to gain a visa that would allow him to compete on the Pro Tour. "It's not settled yet but next year I'll definitely be in the UK and playing everything," he explains. "I need to process it and then everything is okay."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024

- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
