Richard Veenstra takes hat off to Michael van Gerwen: ''He's too good, I respect that''

Richard Veenstra never came close to pulling off a shock against Michael van Gerwen on Wednesday night. 'Flyers' lost hopelessly 4-0 in sets to his compatriot at the World Darts Championship.
''That's different cake, huh?", laughed Veenstra to AD.nl after he had received darts lessons from Michael van Gerwen. ''You have hope for a moment that you can start well and then he gets shivers, but he didn't suffer from that, haha! Despondent? Yes, everyone who has to chase Michael gets despondent. He's too good, I have a lot of respect for that."
Still, Veenstra can look back on a successful debut at the World Darts Championship. With victories over Ben Robb (3-0) and Kim Huybrechts (3-0) he managed to reach the last 32 in Alexandra Palace.
''You can only learn from this, right? Every time I turned around there was another 140 or 180 in there. I felt really good, but after 1-0 and 2-0 the enjoyment decreases and you want to get a set on the board. All credits to Michael."
The darter from Ossenzijl hopes he lost to the eventual winner and that Van Gerwen gets to lift the cup. ''I think he deserves it again, but it won't be easy."

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
