The level he reached against Price did not come against Lewis who now faces off against Dimitri van den Bergh in the Quarter-Finals.
"My first dart was all the time under the treble 20. Then I go under the triple 19. And then I hit the eighteen. I'm just sorry; but it's no different," said Noppert to RTL7.
Noppert was not bothered by the shows of emotion from Lewis. "No definitely not. I didn't care. I am just sorry that I played badly myself. I wanted it so bad; but it is not easy now."
