Dimitri Van den Bergh can look back proudly at the 2024 Masters, the first PDC major of the year, last weekend. 'The Dreammaker' reached the semi-finals in Milton Keynes

In those semi-finals however, Van den Bergh was completely swept aside by his bogey opponent Michael van Gerwen 11-2. Not since 2018 has the Belgian managed to taste victory over 'MVG'.

"I'm empty," he told VTM 2 immediately afterwards. "I ran out of energy. I felt I played more consistently this match, but I got chances especially in the beginning and didn't take advantage of them. Those are crucial opportunities to grow in a match."

Nevertheless, the Belgian is choosing to remain optimistic despite his defeat. "This is a disappointment, but I played a nice tournament," he explains. "Van Gerwen was much smoother and more flexible in his game. It's not nice, but it's part of the game."
