Dimitri van den Bergh will face Jonny Clayton in the Quarter-Finals of the 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship after breezing past his close friend and World Cup teammate, Kim Huybrechts 4-0.
Van den Bergh produced a 95 average, six 180's and 40% on the doubles in an accomplished display with no follow up from Huybrechts' brilliance against Peter Wright.
Van den Bergh started superbly with two 180’s before finally pinning double eight for a break. After an 11-darter, it was a 21-darter to hold in comparison but he went on to seal the set in a clean sweep.
Huybrechts finally got a leg on the board with a 42 checkout. Double eight pinned by Huybrechts saw him double his lead. An 82 checkout saw Van den Bergh turn it around though and he was throwing for 2-0 in sets.
Van den Bergh missed a set dart but Huybrechts returned the favour with 79 missed and the former returned for 2-0.
Van den Bergh went 2-1 up and hit a 52 checkout to seal the set to go 3-0 up. He went one away on double seven. He missed two match darts but Huybrechts didn’t pin one dart at 116 and Van den Bergh returned for double two.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- 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
