Dimitri Van den Bergh claimed victory in the final of the World Matchplay and his father Chris is very proud of him and believes there is a lot more to come.
"This week took half a year of my life," he laughs a day after his son's major win. “I had more nerves when watching my son than I did when I was a top player myself.
It is nice that, after a whole week of good play, he was able to cap it off with a title. I am really proud of him, but that is always the case as a father,” said Van den Bergh to RTL Nieuws .
Chris used to play himself, he won the French Open title in 2001. “All my sons have inherited it a bit, but Dimitri at a higher level. And I always thought he was going to do great things, but I didn't expect that much at the time.”
Due to his victory in the World Matchplay, Van den Bergh has risen to twelfth place in the PDC Order of Merit, but his father does not see that as an end point. “This is just the beginning. I think he's going to get even better because he's only 26 years old. So he still has a lot of time to gain experience. ”

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
