Michael Van Gerwen has spoke ahead of the World Grand Prix which begins this evening in Dublin and lasts until October 7th.
After the bitter disappointment in terms of the Champions League where he lost in the group stages, Mighty Mike is determined to put it right in Dublin, a tournament he has won 3 times since winning it for the first time back in 2012.
Van Gerwen said: “I didn’t play my best all weekend and I will put that right ready for Dublin.
“The Champions League wasn’t good for me but there is no point looking back. I can only look forward and I’m even more motivated to win the title in Dublin.
“I have great memories in the World Grand Prix. It was my first PDC major in 2012 and I have won it three times. I’m going to do my best to make it four.”

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.

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
