Nathan Aspinall will be relieved to have claimed a point against Michael van Gerwen after a quality display from 'The Asp' who survived a match dart en route to a 6-6 draw.
In a quality match, Aspinall averaged 105.38 and 66% on the doubles to Van Gerwen's 99.7 but despite that, it was Mighty Mike who had the opportunity to take both points before the Stockport ace salvaged a well deserved draw.
Van Gerwen started with a showpiece effort pinning 100 with two double 20 to head into the lead but Aspinall responded with a 121 checkout to make it 1-1.
MVG was at it again smashing in a 148 checkout to make it 2-1 but Aspinall responded with double 18 to claim parity at 2-2 in an entertaining start to the clash.
Van Gerwen held his throw from there and went 4-2 up with a break despite Aspinall averaging around the 106 mark compared to mid 90's from Mighty Mike.
Aspinall wouldn't lie down though and broke back to make it 4-3 immediately with a 96 checkout and it was parity again at 4-4.
He applied the pressure in the requisite leg with a maximum but Van Gerwen went 5-4 up and secured a point from there at 6-5.
But Aspinall got his reward in the form of a point but only after surviving a match dart from the Green Machine.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
