Van Gerwen starts final day European Darts Matchplay with convincing victory over Thornton
NewsSunday, 01 July 2018 at 12:47
Michael van Gerwen booked an easy win in the third round of the European Darts Matchplay. The world number one dropped only one leg against Robert Thornton.
The 29-year-old Dutchman needed four legs to find his turbo, but at that moment he had a 3-1 lead already. Van Gerwen hit a 112 checkout to extend his lead, before he took the win with a 15-dart leg and a 14-dart leg.
Van Gerwen will face Ian White in the quarter-finals on Sunday evening. 'The Diamond' beat Darren Webster in the third round with 6-2. The previous meeting between 'MvG' and White was won by the Stoke ace (6-2).

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
