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."

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
