Petersen 'ecstatic' to reach European Championship Quarter-Finals after comeback win over Kleermaker

Devon Petersen is through to the European Championship Quarter-Finals after a comeback win over Martijn Kleermaker which saw him come from 6-4 down to claim a 10-8 victory over the Dutch Giant.

Petersen spoke afterwards and admitted his pace threw him off a bit but that he was 'ecstatic' to be through and playing the way he is.

"I'm happy to go through," said Petersen. "Martijn is an amazing talent and is probably the quickest player in the world at this point in time.

"In the first session I needed to catch my breath, find my rhythm in a sense and I was hanging onto his coat-tails and he was so clinical on his finishing.

"I was quite mesmerised by his pace. I recomposed myself at the start of the second session and those five legs I think put him in a wobble a little bit.

"I'm ecstatic that I'm performing at that level. As long as I play well, that's the only thing that matters."
