Cameron Menzies has described his stunning victory over Luke Humphries as the pinnacle of his darts career, after pulling off a dramatic 10-7 upset to secure his spot in the next round of the World Matchplay Darts. Menzies' incredible Big Fish checkout sealed the deal, marking his first-ever win at Winter Gardens. This monumental triumph comes just eight months after he underwent surgery following an incident at the World Championship.
Menzies expressed his disbelief, saying, 'I don't know how to explain that victory. I believed I could cause an upset, but I had to play exceptionally well.' He added, 'I played really well, took every chance Luke gave me, and stole a few legs to win.' The Scot had considered quitting darts earlier this year but has since found his footing, attributing his success to being in a better mental and physical place. Sky Sports Darts' Wayne Mardle praised Menzies' composure, stating, 'He held it all together beautifully, and what he should take away from tonight was the way he handled the situation.' Menzies will face Ross Smith in the next round, while other notable matches include Gerwyn Price vs.
Rob Cross and Gian van Veen vs. Wessel Nijman.
