Dimitri Van den Bergh played outstandingly like in his two World Cup matches before, stood at an average of 108.48, the checkout rate was a respectable 36 percent.

But the Belgian did not appear on the scoreboard.

He was 3-0 down in sets.

Van den Bergh was faced with an opponent in Dave Chisnall, who had converted an unbelievable 75 percent of his attempts on the doubles and only got some chances after the 0: 3.

The World Matchplay champion took set four and started with a 121 checkout with a break in round five, countered Chisnalls re-break again with a leg win against the throw-off and reduced it to 2: 3.

In the sixth set, however, the Englishman brought the game over the finish line and rewarded himself for his strong performance.

Number eight in the world rankings will meet Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals on January 1st.

Crazy ”, the Dutchman looked ahead.
