Dirk van Duijvenbode has qualified for the last sixteen of the 2024 Flanders Darts Trophy in Antwerp. The 'Aubergenius' defeated Damon Heta 6-5 in the second round and is now set to face Luke Littler in the next round.
Van Duijvenbode and Heta treated the spectators present at the Antwerp Expo to a particularly exciting match. Each player kept holding their own throw, so in the end Van Duijvenbode managed to finish it off in the very last leg. "Scoring wise, I thought I had some chances to break his throw," reflected Van Duijvenbode in his post-match interview on stage afterwards.

"In the beginning, first four legs I thought I could have actually done more scoring wise," Van Duijvenbode continues. "But I kept my calm on my own throw, which wasn't easy, I've got sweaty hands! Not sweaty hands from nerves but it's so warm in here and we were both struggling in the beginning to score well. Towards the end of the game, we both played better but that wasn't our normal level."

The 32-year-old Dutchman eventually finished the match with 98 average and 75 percent on his doubles. "I thought it was like a low 90s, but it wasn't that bad," the Dutchman assesses. "98? I'll take that! And 75% on doubles is very good. Happy that I won and happy that I can get back for Sunday."
Van Duijvenbode will take on Luke Littler in the last sixteen on Sunday afternoon. 'The Nuke' particularly impressed in the second round by winning 6-1 over Jermaine Wattimena with an average of over 111.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
