Van Gerwen sublime in win over Robson with 112 average and Anderson eases through against Unterbuchner
NewsSaturday, 10 November 2018 at 22:53
Michael van Gerwen put out a message tonight by smashing Gary Robson 5-1 with the World Number One hitting a 112 average.
Van Gerwen as a result extended his run in the Grand Slam to 22 matches. He showed no mercy with six 180’s restricting ‘Big Robbo’ to only one leg overall. Despite his brilliance he didn’t have to rely on his checkouts with his highest being 50.
Gary Anderson on the other hand also eased through but didn’t have to smash in a huge average. It was only 91 for Ando in a 5-2 victory over the German, Michael Unterbuchner.
Three 180’s despite lots of bounce outs meant a good return for the Flying Scotsman. He will have to face Ian White tomorrow who put in an impressive display earlier.

- 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
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
