Dirk van Duijvenbode continued his excellent form with a comeback win against Michael Smith to reach the Quarter-Finals of the European Championship.
Van Duijvenbode came from 3-0 down to claim a 10-8 victory over 'Bully Boy' and he admits that he is not playing at his best as of yet.
"I'm very happy that I won," said Van Duijvenbode. "I know we're both fast players but I said to myself I had to not go at his rhythm, and I stopped playing well and lost my confidence.
"He missed some chances and I regained my composure. I was upset with myself for missing three darts to go 4-1 up because I could have relaxed then. He played well then but happily I composed myself to play normal again.
"I'm still not playing my best darts but it's about regaining your confidence and if making a major final doesn't give you confidence then nothing does."
