Gian van Veen secured a place in the last 32 at the Baltic Sea Darts Open on Friday night by recording a 6-4 victory over Kevin Troppmann in the second round.
His German opponent still gave a strong counter after Van Veen was leading 4-1 after five legs. ''I was in front and I felt comfortable, even without playing well. I was 4-1 up like chilling, and all of a sudden it was four all. He played phenomenal. He took out the right shots at the right times, but luckily at four all I turned on and thankfully got the win.''
After Troppmann levelled the match, Van Veen managed to hit a 12-darter and a brilliant 11-darter to claim the win. ''I think I lost my focus a bit during the game, but it's a good sign. I knew what to do.''
In the second round 'GVV The Giant' will take on second seed Damon Heta. ''I love to play him in Europe. Not in the UK'', he smiled. ''But I think on the European Tour I beat him twice with a good average.''

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
