Simon Whitlock is through to the Last 16 at the Hungarian Darts Trophy after edging past Michael van Gerwen 6-5 in a decider as his spell continues over the Green Machine.
Whitlock has now beaten Van Gerwen six times in a row and seems to have the number of the current Premier League and World Matchplay champion.
But despite that, the Aussie ace admitted the nerves were still very much there and he wasn't best pleased but was glad to move through.
"Honestly that was like I'd never beaten Michael before in 50 matches but I was so nervous, I don't know why. I shouldn't be, I won the last five but it was a pretty ugly game," said Whitlock post match.
"We both tried and I don't know what happened. I wasn't the best player there, I don't know what's happened and I still don't know how I won that match."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
