Michael van Gerwen has struggled into the quarter-finals of the World Series of Darts Finals. 'Mighty Mike' was a 6-4 winner over William O'Connor in the second round.
Van Gerwen had to come back from a 3-0 deficit. “I had to work really hard for that,” Van Gerwen admitted post-match. “I made too many mistakes early on, and I think William played really well in the beginning of the game. Fair play to him, but I had a lovely 161 finish at the right moment."
Averaging 93, the 34-year-old Dutchman was far from his best and therefore remains realistic. “I made it difficult for myself, but the most important thing is that I won, and now I need to focus on tomorrow, because I still have a lot of work to do.”

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
