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."

- 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
