Michael van Gerwen was not pleased with his own performance after his surprising elimination at the German Darts Masters. 'Mighty Mike' lost in the quarterfinals to Dimitri van den Bergh. "I am very disappointed with my performance," said MVG on Twitter.
The number one missed several doubles which Van den Bergh punished. Van Gerwen did hit a higher average (98.72) than Van den Bergh (94.34), but the double percentage of the youth world champion was 47 percent higher than the Dutchman (33 percent).
He said the following: “I did not play well enough and Dimitri was the deserving winner. He took his chances and punished my mistakes. Good luck to him for the rest of the tournament”.
Van den Bergh went on to get to the final losing out to Mensur Suljovic who used his experience to get past the Belgian ace.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. 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
