Van Duijvenbode after unsuccessful World Matchplay debut against Clayton: "I was way too erratic"

Dirk van Duijvenbode left his tie against Jonny Clayton like he had missed an opportunity to knock 'The Ferret' out of the tournament.
Van Duijvenbode threw a 164 finish to win the third leg and went into the break trailing 3-2 but missed chances blighted the rest of his game after the interval.
“I had several good chances and after that I just couldn't take it anymore. I may have been too excited at first. I was very high in my adrenalin and because of that I may have thrown a bit too fast”, Van Duijvenbode reacted to RTL 7 afterwards.
“I was way too erratic. It was 180 or 43. I threw a good leg or a mediocre leg, there was nothing in between. Then you just lose. But there was definitely more possible.”

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
