2020 World Matchplay champion and last year's finalist, Dimitri van den Bergh has breezed through his opening round at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool sealing a commanding 10-2 win over Callan Rydz.
Van den Bergh recorded an average of 100 in the process in a statement win early on as he sealed it with a 137 checkout. Can he go one better this year.

The Belgian started with a 48 checkout after Rydz missed double 20 for a 114 checkout to begin the tie and Van den Bergh doubled his lead with a 96 checkout for a 12-darter.
He continued to run riot sealing an 11-darter to make it 3-0 with Rydz way back. The Bedlington thrower though finally stopped the rot by taking out 70 but again the cushion was reopened as Van den Bergh led 4-1.
Rydz looked to seal a foothold and a way back in with a 72 checkout at 4-2 down but Van den Bergh surged away with a 116 checkout opening it up in a statement of intent.
The Belgian hit a 78 checkout from there to make it 7-2 and didn't drop a leg from there as he eased through.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
