Van Gerwen spoke afterwards and said that both his scoring and finishing were great which claimed him the victory.
He like many admitted that he didn’t know what to expect from Raymond so he played well as a result.
“The scoring was great but 180s don’t win you matches so my finishing pleased me as well tonight,” said Van Gerwen.
“I didn’t really know what to expect from Raymond so I made sure I didn’t make many mistakes and now we move on to tomorrow.”
