Noppert repeated the trick, coming from an early set down to defeat two-time World champion Gary Anderson.

Van der Voort commented that Noppert has grown a personality overnight, seeming more open and aggressive.

Noppert's new persona has been noticed, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue this form.

He has been doing this for years, and it's what separates the elite from the rest.

Noppert's composure and big-stage experience shone through in his match against Wattimena.

The Dutchman has succeeded in just about every level of darts that he has undertaken.

As a UK Open Champion, Noppert has proven himself to be a tough player.

Van der Voort's praise is significant, given his reputation for brutal honesty.

Noppert's victory over Anderson was impressive, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the next round.

The Grand Prix semifinal is a significant milestone for Noppert, and he will be looking to continue his good form.

With his new persona and resilience, Noppert is a force to be reckoned with in the world of darts.
