Leeds Van Gerwen

Michael van Gerwen continued his stunning form by smashing Michael Smith in a clash of the table toppers last night in Glasgow. After going 2-0 down with a 75 average, he won 7 straight legs not giving the St Helens ace a chance.

He spoke afterwards and despite him averaging well, Van Gerwen has said he is doing okay but is winning his games which is the main aim. He also spoke about his opponent, Michael Smith. 'Mighty Mike' said that he knew he could get the points but that he is a huge talent.
"I wouldn't say it's the best of my performances but I am not making many mistakes," said Van Gerwen. "I'm doing okay but I'm winning my games and sometimes that's a strong point.
"In the first two legs tonight I couldn't find the treble and I was trying too hard, but at the end of the day I got the two points and that's the most important thing.
"Michael has played well - he's a huge talent and it's second in the rankings for nothing but if you look at his tournament average I knew I could get the points tonight.
"To finish at the top of the league table is harder than winning the tournament in my opinion so I want to keep going and keep winning."
