Vincent van der Voort is through to the second round at the 2020 PDC World Championship after defeating Keane Barry who more than showed how good he was on his debut on the Alexandra Palace stage.
Van der Voort spoke afterwards and called the way that Barry plays is 'frightening' and that even with his quick speed, he said that he was too quick for him.
He is under no illusions though that he will need to ramp it up when it comes to playing Dave Chisnall so he is going to prepare accordingly.
“It definitely wasn’t a comfortable game to play in, I’m so happy to win,” said Van der Voort.
“Keane is a quality young player with so much potential, the way he hits the treble 20 is frightening.
“But at the key moments he didn’t deliver and thankfully I managed to hit the big shots at the right moments.
“I’m known as a quick player but at one point I thought ‘I need to slow down’ because he’s playing too fast for me!
“Dave (Chisnall) is a great player, he’s in the top ten in the world so I will be giving everything I have to win that one.”

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
