Klaasen speaks after dumping out Anderson to reach Quarter-Finals at UK Open: “The belief is back and I know I can perform under pressure”

Jelle Klaasen is all set to take on Daryl Gurney later today as he takes part in his first major Quarter-Final in over 3 years at the UK Open.
Klaasen did so by producing stunning wins over Steve West and Gary Anderson latterly on the big stage and after this past weekend, ‘The Cobra’ has the drive back to play as well as before.
"It's been a while since I felt so relaxed on stage, even when I was under pressure," said Klaasen.
"I had the wrist surgery [in 2017] and it takes a while to get the confidence back, but I'm happy that slowly it's getting there.
"The belief is back and I know I can perform under pressure, and that showed against Gary. If I score like I can and hit my doubles like I have this weekend, I can beat anyone."

- The semi finals are so one sided nowadays. Bunting and Dobey had their final in the quarters and simply had no interest once they got behind and gave up., yet both will be whining for premier league places. Earning enough to keep the rankings is more important to most players.
