Peter Wright has taken a big win in Wieze over Michael van Gerwen, 6-4 on Saturday night in the second round of the Belgian Darts Open.
It is now a fourth defeat in a row for Van Gerwen. He already suffered defeats against Luke Humphries (Premier League), Mensur Suljovic (UK Open) and Rob Cross (Premier League) in recent weeks.
The top form was also lacking against Wright. Van Gerwen even threw below the 90 average for part of the match, but eventually managed to raise it to 93.
Wright, who changed arrows several times throughout the match, managed to take a break lead thanks to a 72 finish in the sixth leg. Van Gerwen then came back to 4-4, but saw Wright then throw out 114. Van Gerwen had two more chances to force a final leg, but these chances were not taken. Wright then threw a 17-darter for a spot in the next round.
Gerwyn Price also reached the last sixteen at the Euro Tour tournament in Belgium. The former world champion triumphed 6-4 against Gabriel Clemens and also threw a very creditable average of 101.21.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- 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
