The Scot, who is dating fellow darts star Fallon Sherrock, works as a plumber to support his sporting dream.
Following his one-sided defeat to Chisnall, Menzies expressed his disappointment on social media.
He wrote on X: “This is why I work. I am so far off being a pro n today absolutely broke my heart. I am sorry.”
