World Number 1 Michael van Gerwen has exploded into life since the birth of his daughter in August.
The Dutchman has been on a rampage on the European tour and hopes to carry that form into this weekend's World Series Event, something he noted when speaking to pdc.tv. "I won the European Tour last weekend so I know I'm playing well, and I can't wait for this weekend."
van Gerwen also acknowledged the German fans expected to be in attendance in Hamburg saying "The fans are always fantastic in Germany and this is an event I'm looking forward to"
Martin Schindler will be MvG's opponent in the first round, a player who has appeared at the world cup and a couple of Euro Tours this season. The World series has given us another chance to see the German youngster in action, and Michael had this to say about the event.
"The World Series is growing all the time and it's great to have a big event in Germany like this."
A third world series title this season would be enough to secure the number 1 seed spot heading to the Glasgow finals in a couple of weeks time. van Gerwen currently trails world number 2 Anderson by 4 points but missed out on the Australasian triple header earlier this year.

- 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
