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."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
