Van Gerwen explains why he pulls socks up in matches: "Maybe it gets my focus on the dartboard for a second to re-concentrate”

He said about how he has had previous routines before and also that it helps so he isn’t complaining. "I used to flick my hand with my watch and I used to crack my fingers. "Pulling my socks up is just something I do - I don't know why. "Sometimes it helps, so I can't really complain! "Maybe it gets my focus on the dartboard for a second to re-concentrate and gets yourself going again. "Maybe it helps, maybe not? I don't do it on purpose, I just want to do the thing I love - play darts at a high level."
