Van Duijvenbode after brilliant comeback win over Smith: "If I win this next game, I can be a World Champion"

Dirk van Duijvenbode came from 3-0 down to produce a stunning comeback to dump out Ross Smith and reach the Last 16 at the PDC World Darts Championship.
To go 3-0 down, Van Duijvenbode attributed to not bringing his practice game onto the stage.
"It wasn't frustrating because I played amazing in practice and then I went on there and it felt like I had two anchors on my back. After 3-0 down, I was like throw it away and it didn't really work and eventually I win the set and now we show what we're doing and I did I think," said Van Duijvenbode post match.
But for Van Duijvenbode, he always had the belief he could turn it around.
"I always had the feeling all game through, if I play well there's no-one there because of the way I practice. With my eyes closed, I had the feeling."
"From being 3-0 down, you throw away all the tension you have. Back against the wall, play good darts otherwise you're out. That's what I thought all the way."
Price or Huybrechts await
Next up could be Gerwyn Price or Kim Huybrechts and he has the belief it could hold the key.
"I think if I win this next game, I can be a World Champion."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
