Menzies is in a relationship with fellow professional Fallon Sherrock and was reading the draw with fear that they may face each other.<\/p>\n<p>Menzies\u2019 victory over Rodriguez sets up a second-round tie with Dave Chisnall. And his first-round win came after Menzies had spent the morning of his win working as a plumber. He finished his half-shift before rushing over to Alexandra Palace in order to take on the Austrian and ensure he would keep his Tour card along with at least \u00a315,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n<p>But the further he goes into the tournament, the greater chance he has of being paired up against his girlfriend Sherrock &#8211; something he is keen to avoid. \u201cYou don&#8217;t understand how many issues we had,\u201d Menzies admitted. \u201cShe went down for the draw, I was on the computer going: &#8216;Please, not Fallon, please, not Fallon&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s a handful of players you don&#8217;t want to draw and Fallon is up there. I play Fallon in the house and I beat her eight times out of 10, but she has a moment when she smashes me.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> MUST READ <\/strong> <strong>&#8216;I tiled Arsenal hero Dennis Bergkamp&#8217;s bathroom now I&#8217;m a rich darts champion'[FEATURE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/World-Darts-Championship-Menzies-Sherrock-5118654.jpg?r=1702725366791\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know for a fact up there she would batter me. It&#8217;s her stage, she would batter me. Rusty is a very good player but I would take him over Fallon in a heartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The opening day of the tournament was a busy one for Menzies, having travelled from Milton Keynes where he worked as a plumber to Ally Pally to compete in the most prestigious darts tournament in the world. He explained that going to his day job helped prepare him mentally for the match.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>World Darts Championship star Rodriguez throws dart off table in furious rage[REACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>World Darts Championship star Menzies rushes to Ally Pally after plumbing job[SPOTTED] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Phil Taylor and Robbie Williams want to buy Port Vale and rival Ryan Reynolds[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/World-Darts-Championship-Cameron-Menzies-5118656.jpg?r=1702725366836\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was panicking earlier because I was working today but it kind of chilled me out \u2013 it made me realise that darts is a hobby and it&#8217;s not the be-all and end-all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday I changed the waste in a basin, I couldn&#8217;t get the pedestal out because it was concreted in.
