Van Duijvenbode surprised himself with maiden PDC title at Super Series: “The last two days I have been poor”

Dirk Van Duijvenbode claimed his maiden PDC ranking title on Day Three of PDC Super Series 3.
Van Duijvenbode came through a hard fought win over compatriot Martijn Kleermaker but admitted afterwards that nerves played a factor and that he didn’t expect to claim the title after recent form.
"We were both nervous," said Van Duijvenbode. "When I thought I could finish it, I was more nervous than him, and then when he needed to stay in it he was more nervous.
"I was in great form the last two series and thought I would win a title but I didn't. The last two days I have been poor, so I went into today just hoping I would win the first round.
"On the one side I know I need to play better, but on the other it is great to win when not playing your best.
"Sometimes you have to win on a bad day, but I always want to play well and that is what I think about - and then it all comes together."

- 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
