"So proud of myself" - Rob Cross believes in second world title after huge comeback

Rob Cross has qualified for the semifinals of the World Darts Championship after a real thriller. 'Voltage' pulled off a fabulous comeback to beat Chris Dobey 5-4 in the quarter-finals.
"I always believe," an emotional Cross reflected in his post-match press conference. "Saving grace for me was three legs to a set you know. So you take one, they go back to zero, they got to win another three but credit to Chris today, he was much more settled than me early. I got away with one."
"Chris started the match really well and deservedly took the lead. But I wasn't playing badly myself and the closer I got, the more I started to believe in it. With that wide lead I also started to play a little more relaxed, I had nothing left to lose and that definitely helped me. I have rarely been so proud of myself."
Cross was also reminded of his children during the race. "They had wished me good luck beforehand and those kind words stayed with me, it's also for them that I made such an effort," he recalls. "Special you know, just really special."
In the semifinals tonight, Cross takes on Luke Littler. "What a talent! He brings something extra to our sport, something refreshing. He has a great future, but hopefully this year it will be up to me to become world champion."

- 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
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
