Van der Voort, who himself reached the quarterfinals at this World Matchplay, was an analyst for RTL 7 in the final.

“It was very clever how Dimitri won this final. He had everything under control all the time, hats off. It was the debutant against the experienced player, but during the match Dimitri seemed to be the experienced player. Anderson was constantly in doubt and was throwing very hit and miss. ”

Despite this first major victory, Van der Voort still sees opportunities for progress for Van den Bergh.

“He has already demonstrated on stage that he can perform excellently, but his level in the floor tournaments still has to go up. It is often there that you know how to qualify for the big tournaments. Now he narrowly qualified for this World Matchplay, if he also performs better on the floor, there is a good chance that he will become a seeded player.”
