Michael van Gerwen sealed his progression through to Sunday's action at the 2023 Masters after seeing off Jose de Sousa 10-7 and he said that he believes he was the better player throughout.
"I think I played well especially early doors but not only early doors I think overall over the whole game I was I think the better player," said Van Gerwen post match.
"Of course he took his chances with a couple of good finishes or me missing two darts at a double but you need to make sure you do the right things and I think I did the right things for myself in this game. I was focused, I was concentrated and that's how you win games."
After turning up to Copenhagen full of jet lag, he admits he is still not 100% there but is feeling good albeit with some darting rust.
"Refreshed is a big word but I'm getting there, I didn't practice as much as I wanted to also for this tournament. But overall I feel good and that's probably even more important."
As well as giving a simple message about wanting to regain a title he has won five times. "Any tournament I'm competing in I want to win, it's as simple as that."
