Michael van Gerwen on verge of another Euro Tour win after defeating Whitlock
NewsSunday, 15 October 2017 at 20:55
Michael van Gerwen is on the verge of another Euro Tour title after defeating Simon Whitlock in the semi-finals in Gottingen.
Van Gerwen has silenced the critics this weekend who questioned whether he was slipping after exits in the World Matchplay, Champions League and World Grand Prix recently and took out an in form player in 'The Wizard' Simon Whitlock 6-1.
He now turns his attention to 'Voltage' Rob Cross with Van Gerwen looking for another win over the new star of PDC darts in a Euro Tour final while Cross will be angling for revenge after a 6-3 defeat to the World Number One in his first ET final but one thing we do know is that Van Gerwen can't be touched on top of the European order of merit and despite not entering the Players Championship as number 1 he will at the European Championship.
For Whitlock, the scoreline didn't tell the whole story with 'The Wizard' averaging just shy of 100 but a 110 average was just too good from Mighty Mike but a good last few weeks from Whitlock will give him plenty to shout about going into the last few major's before the Worlds.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
