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.”

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- 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
