The Croatian player expressed his joy after the game, stating, "I feel really good. I know if I play my game, I can beat anybody. Today, I performed exceptionally well, and I felt comfortable on the stage."
Despite a brief setback in the first set, where Krcmar controlled the game but missed a crucial dart to clinch the set, he demonstrated resilience and mental fortitude to fight back and dominate the remainder of the match.

Steel tip vs soft tip
An eight-time world champion in soft tip, Krcmar acknowledged the transition to steel tip as a challenge, expressing, "I am so used to winning everything in soft tip, when I come up against these world-class players in steel tip, it's still a shock. I want to be the best in steel tip, but we will see."

The crowd is phenomenal. I have some friends from Croatia who have come to watch me too, which has helped. But the crowd is phenomenal; they definitely helped me win today.
