Michael van Gerwen, the six-time World Grand Prix champion was talked up as a potential seven time winner this week in Leicester. But he has been dumped out in one of the worst defeats of his career.
It was a head scratcher from the Green Machine as fellow former World Grand Prix champion dismissed him without MVG failing to register a single leg in the contest. Summing up the contest for him was a throwing in of the towel of sorts with a 180 to leave double three at the end. Gurney now moves on to face Stephen Bunting with a big wide open part of the draw.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
