Defending champion Van Gerwen punishes missed doubles to see off Petersen
PDCFriday, 09 October 2020 at 00:12
Michael van Gerwen is through to the Quarter-Finals at the World Grand Prix after seeing off Devon Petersen in a straight sets victory.
Van Gerwen hasn't had the best of times against 'The African Warrior' as of late but so far this week, he has continued to show what happens when chances aren't taken against him.
This was the story in this one with a lot of costly missed set darts being the difference from Petersen and somewhat flattering the 3-0 scoreline.
It was the case in the opening set with Petersen missing two darts to wrap up the first set and Van Gerwen made it 2-2. From there he punished in the decider to make it 1-0.
Petersen hit a brilliant 180 to pressure to begin set two but Van Gerwen in typical fashion smashed in a 146 to lead in set two.
From there, the former set up a last leg decider but another chance evaded him as he missed five set darts allowing Van Gerwen the shot at double two which he utilised to double his lead.
His doubling woes continued and Van Gerwen broke throw in the third set and doubled his lead from there. Petersen held his throw but this proved nothing more than a consolation as Van Gerwen won through.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
