"Better than he can actually do, fair is fair": Van Gerwen surprised after defeat to sublime Ross Smith
PDCWednesday, 16 November 2022 at 09:30
Michael van Gerwen went down in his third group match of the Grand Slam of Darts on Tuesday night. Despite the 4-5 defeat against Ross Smith, Van Gerwen still finished first in the group.
Van Gerwen already saw the mood change when Luke Woodhouse had lost his match to Nathan Rafferty. This allowed Smith to play freely, according to Van Gerwen.
"I saw him change completely," Van Gerwen told Viaplay. "He felt at ease and you could see that reflected in the match."
It resulted in an average of almost 108. "Better than he can actually do, fair is fair," Van Gerwen said. The 107.92 Smith averaged was a new record on TV.
Van Gerwen definitely did not underperform with an average of almost 105, but still lost in the decisive ninth leg. "Little chances you have to take. This is also part of it."

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- 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
