Imperious Van Gerwen into semi-finals of UK Open after another masterful display against Aspinall

Yesterday it was Luke Humphries and today it is Nathan Aspinall who was on the end of an ominous and imperious display from Michael van Gerwen at the 2023 UK Open.
Van Gerwen joins Andrew Gilding in the semi-final line-up this evening as the Dutchman reaches his sixth last four in this tournament with a 99.6 average and nine 180's.
It was a good start from Aspinall with a 160 checkout to clinch the opening leg but four consecutive legs from Van Gerwen saw him begin to run away with the tie.
Every time as ever Aspinall thought he had a chance, the door was shut as Van Gerwen followed up a 119 finished followed by a 127 checkout for a 12-darter to make it 7-3.
He continued to motor towards the finish with a 12-dart break hitting an 83 checkout taking out the combination finishes clinically. Aspinall thought he had a lifeline at 8-6 down as Van Gerwen busted twice but he missed the bull for a 164 and again was punished as Van Gerwen went one away.
Aspinall missed 87 on the bull to stay in it and Van Gerwen eased over the line on double 16.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
