Van Gerwen claims 27th career European Tour title in thrilling German Darts Championship final
NewsSunday, 02 September 2018 at 22:13
Michael van Gerwen has been utterly sublime this weekend but was made to work in the final of the German Darts Championship.
Van Gerwen saw off James Wilson in an 8-6 victory who claimed of course more legs than any other player this weekend. Wilson came back into the game late on to show that he wasn’t giving up without a fight nearly forcing a decider.
Despite that it was a winning return and a 27th European Tour title for MVG. He has enjoyed most of his success on this tour this year and this has not wained despite a poor World Matchplay and World Series during the summer.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
