Another hot sunny day in Antwerp and the last day of the Belgium Open. The most important day of the whole tournament; the singles.
My first game is at 13:00H as I have a bye in the first round. Warming up this morning and a few hours later didn't feel quite right. Darts feel alien and are going everywhere but where I want them to go. :(
I played against Jill Desmedt; also from Belgium. I played the worst game of my life I think. Nothing went in. No mater where I stood or where I aimed or what I tried... It just wouldn't go in. I couldn't hit a decent score to save my life. I thus lost 3-1. Needless to say I was pissed off at myself for playing like a god damn amateur and disappointing the people watching. No idea what happened. It was just like I'd never held a dart in my entire life. Never would have lost if I had played my "normal" game.
Also very disappointed in myself for losing the points I got last year. Every dart player's worst nightmare to play as bad as that when it really matters.
But, no use in crying over spilled milk.
