"Littler was still so fresh, MVG was completely gone": Vincent van der Voort sees fatigue as leading factor for Van Gerwen in Amsterdam

Last weekend at the World Series of Darts Finals, Michael van Gerwen was able to count on the behind-the-scenes support of his good friend and ace Vincent van der Voort.
Van der Voort analyzes the tournament of 'Mighty Mike' at Sportnieuws.nl. "The first game against Jonny Clayton was really work," he said. "His level with barely 86 average was actually really dramatic. He must have gone into that match against Noppert with little confidence and then to add 20 points and play his best match of the tournament by far, I think that's really big class. That proves that he can pick things up very quickly. Only all the big things you don't solve in one, two."
In the quarterfinals against Luke Humphries, Van Gerwen, after letting several match darts go unused, eventually managed to win 10-9 over Luke Humphries. "That match took a lot of energy. Because of those missed match darts, a bit of uncertainty creeps in and that comes out in the evening," Van der Voort stated. "He made it very hard on himself then and you could see after about six legs today that it just completely ran out."

Littler
In the semifinals, the tournament ended for Van Gerwen after a hopeless 11-4 defeat to Littler. "Luke played really fantastic. He didn't miss anything and then try to turn it around. He just deservedly won. For Van Gerwen there is just a lot of work to do," Van der Voort said.
"The World Series of Darts Finals is not the most important tournament on the calendar," Van der Voort continued. "Despite that, of course the disappointment is big because he comes here to win in front of his own crowd. So any other result is then a disappointment."
"You just saw that Littler was still so fresh and fit and with Van Gerwen it was just completely gone. This tournament just took so much energy. We do have to take the good things from this tournament. We are in a process to make sure he is very, very good at the end of the year. Then we have to start looking at how we can address tonight's fatigue so that in the future he won't be so tired before a match like he was against Littler."

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
