Another stunning display from Dimitri Van den Bergh as the World Matchplay Champion fires a stunning 110 checkout to seal a 10-3 win over Jonny Clayton. 103.51 average, not too shabby 👏
Van den Bergh first through to Grand Slam Quarter-Finals after superb Clayton win
PDCFriday, 20 November 2020 at 20:46
The first Quarter-Finalist at the Grand Slam of Darts is Dimitri van den Bergh after a clinical win over Jonny Clayton to begin the Last 16 in Coventry.
Van den Bergh has made the Quarter-Finals now in the Grand Slam twice in three years but of course is now a major champion and will have the belief that he can go all the way once more this week.
Especially after this display easing past Jonny Clayton in a 10-3 win with a 103.6 average and eight 180's as his brilliance continues.
He was averaging 123 in the outset of the contest as he went 2-1 up and followed that up with a break to make it 3-1.
Clayton though wasn't going to lie down and he broke back straight away with a 60 checkout to make it 3-2 but as soon as they returned from the interval, Van den Bergh went on fire once more as he smashed in two 180's and an 81 checkout to move 4-2 ahead.
Despite five missed darts on double which led to Clayton claiming a hold at 5-3, this proved a consolation as Van den Bergh romped into a 7-3 lead upping his average to 105 and making it seven 180's as he broke again.
It was 8-3 with a hold and another break saw him at 9-3 on the verge of closing it out and that he did with a 110 checkout.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
