“On my day I could be No 1 and could be the best,” said The Iceman, who has won three of his last four tournaments.
“The first leg I thought I was going to bomb it but I was a lot better than I was in the first round.
“I can improve on today and I will be a lot more confident after that.
“I just want to win every game that I can.”
Dutch darter de Zwaan, the Black Cobra, reached the last eight after seeing off Gabriel Clemens 3-0.
But there was Grand Prix heartache for Jonny Clayton after he staged a fightback in his last 16 match against his pal Joe Cullen.
The Pontyberem thrower levelled at 2-2 after losing the first two sets, picking up just one leg.
But after taking the fifth set into a decisive final leg where he had the advantage of the arrows, he saw Cullen seal a 3-2 win.
