Dimitri van den Bergh was the latest player to take part in the Autocomplete Challenge with the PDC.

Questions included where Van den Bergh is from which is the city of Antwerp in Belgium and he discussed living there up to recently.

"It's a big city, a lot of noise. You hear a lot of police driving, a lot of ambulance going. A lot of big buildings, traffic lights everywhere. People walking dogs, very busy," said Van den Bergh to the PDC.

"I didn't have to pay a lot a rent so that was the perfect way to save money. Didn't have a girlfriend at the time, didn't have to plan to live on my own because I don't really need it. I'm not really at home alot anyway."

Bond with the Huybrechts family and knee injury

With his partnership with Kim Huybrechts in the World Cup of Darts the question came up about them being related which he confirmed isn't the case but he sees the former and Ronny like family.

"I've been growing up with the Huybrechts family since I was a kid so for me they are like family. This family is special for me."

He also discussed his knee injury which has just been repaired with surgery with Van den Bergh rocking a knee brace for a time.

"It happened three maybe four years ago playing indoor soccer. My doctor said I was quite lucky that the muscles around the knee were strong to keep it still together. Last year in August after winning the World Matchplay, we went to a teampark and I thin I just used my leg too much that day and a few stairs hurt me."

Speaking languages and Dancing Dimi

Also he spoke on being multilingual with Van den Bergh able to do interviews in many languages as well as his nickname which is different depending on where he is.

"Speaking actual languages, it's got to be three or four, English, German, Dutch and French. I've tried an interview in French but that one is still a bit too difficult. I can understand bits and pieces but it's difficult for me to give a proper answer."

"The nickname I got on Belgian soil. They never use the Dreammaker, they use Dancing Dimi. Some people get sick of it, you can't make everybody happy, I can understand that."
