Lewis missed a fair few chances against Van Gerwen with the World Number One in ruthless form. He did enjoy confidence boosting wins over James Wade, Peter Wright and Paul Nicholson who also returned to form. He spoke of his disappointment though after the loss but also said that he thought he performed well over the weekend. In addition he said fair play to Van Gerwen as he punished him and gained confidence from doing so. "Obviously, I'm disappointed not to win but I think I performed well over the weekend," said Lewis. "Fair play to Michael he gained confidence from me missing shots and that's why he's the world number one."
