Callan Rydz became the first player to dump out a seed at the World Matchplay in Glen Durrant who's struggles continued with an opening round exit 10-6 in a scrappy affair.
Rydz got embroiled in a real battle after he went 5-0 up despite neither player producing their best and he wants to up his level now he is through the first hurdle on debut.
"I came here as a fan four years ago and loved it, and it felt amazing to win," said Rydz. "I haven't played in front of fans since the UK Open last year so it's great to see them back.
"I knew I was going to be the favourite but I like Glen and it's terrible to see him struggle. He's out of form, but he knows I had to go out and do a job.
"I didn't play well at all but I've got a day to put it right now, and I want to take my proper game onto that stage."

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
