Van Duijvenbode looks ahead to Quarter-Final clash with Anderson: "He's my hero, always been"

Dirk van Duijvenbode produced a comeback to dump out Premier League champion Glen Durrant and reach the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship Quarter-Finals.
Van Duijvenbode spoke afterwards and admitted that he felt good throughout but wasn't getting the results.
"I felt so good in the beginning and I was 3-1 down and then I felt good at the end and I won 4-3," said Van Duijvenbode to Sky Sports.
He was also asked about potential issues with his back as well as his next clash with Gary Anderson, his idol.
"It's what I do when I'm nervous, well it's always bad. I go to an osteopath twice a month but now I couldn't go because we couldn't go home for Christmas. I scheduled an appointment with the osteopath but I had to cancel it, I'd rather skip that than skip playing."
"He's my hero, always been. When I beat him in the (World) Grand Prix, I was like how can I beat my hero because you don't want to beat your hero because he's your hero."
"Now I play him on the biggest stage in the world. Win or lose I don't mind because I play my hero on the biggest stage I can play him."

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
