🗣️ "It just proves what you can do if you don't quit and never give up. Every year I've improved, if not with my darts then the mental side and not dropping my head." @Michael180Smith on winning his first major title at the Grand Slam Full interview 👇 weeklydartscast.com

Winning the Grand Slam of Darts last month proved a lot of doubters towards Michael Smith wrong and showed that he could win a major title amid eight previous finals lost by 'Bully Boy'.
Speaking to the Weekly Dartscast, he discussed how he has improved in the past few years mentally after the setbacks to seal major glory and how now he is looking to get a more complete game in order to push on to even become World Number One.
"You could see when I fell that there was relief and thank god it's finally done. I was going to run to my kids but my legs went. The past couple of years just come out of me. Finally now I can settle down," said Smith to the Weekly Dartscast.
"It just proved me right and proved everyone else wrong. It just proves what you can do if you don't quit and never give up. Every year I've improved, if not with my darts then the mental side and not dropping my head.
"This year I finally got most things clicked into one but it's just about finding a middle ground now because I'm either really good at scoring and bad at doubles or mediocre at scoring but amazing at doubles. It needs to click now that I'm good at both. Once I'm good at both, I know I'll be World Number One and best player in the world."

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- 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
