Raymond van Barneveld will face Rob Cross in the first round of the Dutch Darts Masters on Friday night in front of his compatriots.
''Rob is an amazing player and an amazing guy,” Van Barneveld said in conversation with the PDC. ''Look at the way Rob fought back against Chris Dobey at the World Championship (0-4 down to win 5-4). You have never beaten him until you hit that last double."

Van Barneveld himself lost in the fourth round of the World Darts Championship to teenage sensation Luke Littler. ''I thought I played really well at the World Championship, but Luke Littler was like a formula one car against me!'' Van Barneveld spoke realistically.
However, the five-time world champion is determined to maintain his good form of recent weeks. ''I was struggling for many years with my darts, with my flights, but hopefully, with this set-up, this is it now. There is no doubt in my head anymore, and I really believe I’m going to do good things this year.”

- 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
