Dimitri van den Bergh is through to the final of the World Matchplay after defeating Glen Durrant on Saturday evening to continue his dream debut in the tournament.
Van den Bergh has long established himself as a big stage player and he has shown that this week with his latest win over Durrant 17-15 a real nailbiter.
He spoke afterwards saying he isn't done yet and that the focus now shifts to his biggest game in his career against Gary Anderson on Sunday evening.
“From the moment I woke up today, to the moment I was playing on that stage, until the last double, I wasn’t nervous. I think that if I feel a little bit nervous, I am so much better," said the Belgian post match to Online Darts.
“I managed to win, and I’m so proud of it. But hey, there’s still one more game to play. I’m not finished.”

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- 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
