In statistics after the event it shows Van Gerwen to have hit all five of his averages in the top ten for the European Darts Matchplay.
This includes three in the top three with his final, last 32 and Quarter-Final efforts underlining what he says about getting better as the tournament goes on.
The other efforts come from William O’Connor, the eventual finalist who lost out to Van Gerwen, Mensur Suljovic, Robert Marijanovic and Keegan Brown. All but one was an effort over 100 showing the standard over the weekend.
