Richard Veenstra has advanced to the last 32 on his debut at the World Darts Championship. 'Flyers' convincingly defeated Kim Huybrechts on Saturday afternoon by beating the number 31 ranked player 3-0 in sets.
Moreover, the Belgian did not manage to take a single leg against the Dutchman. With an average of 99.46 and a finishing percentage of 64 percent, Veenstra produced an excellent performance.
Veenstra immediately showed he was well into the match as he recorded a 12-darter in the first leg. After Huybrechts missed two arrows on tops in the second leg, the Dutchman made it 2-0 with an 85 finish. He then threw out 68 for a 3-0 set win.
In the first leg of the second set, Huybrechts again missed two doubles. These misses were mercilessly punished by a 61 finish from Veenstra. Also in the second leg of this set 'The Hurricane' missed two chances on the dice. Via a 19-darter and a 16-darter the second set also went 3-0 to Veenstra.
Veenstra then started the third set with two 13-darters, needing only one more leg for the win. With a 17-darter, "Flyers" then managed to finish the job, making him Michael van Gerwen's opponent in the next round.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
