"The focus silted away a bit," Van Gerwen opens. "I made mistakes and he took advantage of that. I shouldn't put myself in this position, because I really should have just won the match 6-0 or 6-1."
"This crowd is top notch, they are real dart fans," Van Gerwen continued. "I'm looking forward to tomorrow to give the fans what they deserve."
In the third round, Van Gerwen will take on Joe Cullen on Monday afternoon, who was too strong for Jonny Clayton in the second round, 6-3.

- What a shame about Sophie. She played brilliant darts all week and was always so calm and controlled. Maybe all those matches at the end just flattened her batteries. She will surely be champion in the future. Congratulations Beau on your 3rd World Championship, she admitted she was not 100% on form but still prevailed.richieburnettrocks09-12-2024
- No matter the competition she faces, when she's retired she can say "I was a multiple Women's World Champion" rather than "I repeatedly got knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round at the PDC World Champs." As a female why wouldn't she want to be a women's world champ? Darts players want to win surely? Her average on the women's tour was 84.86 which would've placed her in 152nd on the Pro Tour, she's wise enough to know that as it stands women still can't compete with the men apart from the odd win here and there mainly on the challenge tour. It's about time the PDC really invested in Women's darts and held a world champs for them.Baphomet08-12-2024
- She can play well but not sure at the moment to win a single game at Ally Pally, here she can take 25000 only playing left hand so easy cash for her bankroll. And Littler apart there isn't any 20 years old player to play PDC Worlds so she can widely take her time to step up.cycyP308-12-2024
