De Graaf won in three straight sets against Gary “The flying Scotsman” Anderson in the second round of the World Darts on Sunday night.
– I got very nervous after the first set and when I was leading 2-0 I thought: “what’s going on?”, de Graaf says after the ruckus.
It is the first time that multiple world champion Gary Anderson, 53, has lost his opening match at the World Cup.
He was seen as one of the main challengers to the big favorites Luke Humpshires and Luke Littler, but is eliminated with the Swede’s super kick.
Jeffrey de Graaf, born in the Netherlands, lives in Stockholm and represents Sweden in the World Darts Championship.
For the 34-year-old, the Filipino Paolo Nebrida is now waiting in the third round after Christmas.
