The Belgian Darts Open ended in disappointment for Dimitri Van den Bergh. The brand new UK Open champion went down 6-5 in the first round against Stephen Bunting.
Van den Bergh, however, had come to Wieze with confidence. "I tried to tighten the bow again after that UK Open triumph. Victory wasn't in the cards today, but still I made steps forward again compared to last year," Van den Bergh told VTM 2. "I have only been working with my sports psychologist for a few months. Still, I was able to use certain things again today during the match. In general, however, I have to admit that my opponent was better today."
"The best won today, simple," Van den Bergh continued. "But I don't want to mourn this for too long and keep working hard on myself. I certainly didn't play bad, but Stephen gets one match dart and throws out right away, which is class. It also shows why he's already won a major this year, he's just a fantastic player."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024

- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
