Michael van Gerwen still managed to get through a potentially tough match easily on Saturday night. He defeated Fallon Sherrock 5-1 to immediately take the lead in his pool.
The 34-year-old played an excellent match against the "Queen of the Palace. With an average of 101 and a finishing percentage of 71 percent, he left Sherrock in the dust.
Van Gerwen was warned just before the match that he had to be alert against Sherrock. ''At the bull up, she hit the bull straight away, then you know you have to be sharp. She showed that in the match, but at certain moments I was just too strong."

"That's what got me the win in this match. But I think Sherrock can play fantastic darts. She is a plus for women's darts and I can only give her credit for that.
So the three-time Grand Slam champion was not shaken for a moment by Sherrock, although it did become clear that Van Gerwen is suffering from foot problems. In recent weeks he has been struggling regularly with gout attacks something which Vincent van der Voort also revealed on the Viaplay coverage.
''It's been bothering me for a long time. I'm actually completely done with it. I have good medication, but it's not really working yet. It's frustrating. I can't do anything about it. We also have to deal with the doping authority, so we can't just take everything,'' Van Gerwen said.

- 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
