NewsThursday, 26 October 2017 at 23:31
Michael van Gerwen has put his World Grand Prix early exit nightmare behind him and is through to Round 2 of the European Championship. He is after a 4th defence of his crown in Hasselt and started it off with a 6-2 win over fellow countryman Jan Dekker with a 95 average.
Another Dutchman joined him in the Second Round and that was Jelle Klaasen, he whitewashed Christian Kist in an all dutch affair for the last two games who once again has had a reoccurance of his injury and struggled posting a 64 average in the process. A 92 average still got Klaasen over the line to end day 1.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
