Van Duijvenbode after dumping out Cross: "Leave me as the underdog, then I'll play well"

Dirk van Duijvenbode is through to the Third Round at the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship after stunning Rob Cross in a five set thriller.
It went all the way to a last leg shootout with a clutch 99 checkout handing him the victory. He spoke afterwards and revealed his aim for the tournament and why he wants to remain the underdog.
“I felt so good on treble 19 in that last leg and I knew I had a good chance to take out that finish but I also knew I had to,” said Van Duijvenbode.
“It’s a big moment in a way but I want to go much further. I want to reach at least the Quarter-Finals. I don’t see why I can’t do that now.
“Don’t forget about me. Leave me as the underdog, then I’ll play well.”

- 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

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
