Van Duijvenbode after seeing off Wright in deciding leg victory: 'I'm never happy with what I do'

Dirk van Duijvenbode is through his first game at the Grand Slam of Darts picking up another scalp against the World Champion, Peter Wright.
Van Duijvenbode stumbled across the line and admitted that he wasn't nervous despite a tense end to the tie and discussed his mindset and if he gains confidence from performances like that.
"I had no nerves at all going into the game. At some points I felt a little bit of it and I think my darts were going a little bit different than they're used to. I think I won because Peter (Wright) didn't step in like he normally does," said Van Duijvenbode post match.
"I wasn't nervous at all going for those three darts at double 20 but my conscience was because they're still looking for my darts, they were so far off," he joked.
"I don't know if I get confidence out of it. I'm always kind of insecure, I always put high pressure on myself. I always put pressure on myself to play well. I don't gain confidence out of playing well but that makes me dangerous because I'm never happy with what I do."

- 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
