"There is still a long way to go": Van Gerwen not yet thinking of UK Open title despite blistering Humphries win

Three-time UK Open champion Michael van Gerwen swept aside Luke Humphries on Saturday evening in Minehead to book his spot in the final day.

But despite that, he isn't thinking of the title yet but even so spoke of his love of the tournament and playing on the big stage.

“You just need to focus on your own performance and that’s all you can do,” reflected Van Gerwen.

“There is still a long way to go. I’m only in the quarter-finals and I’m looking forward to my next game.

“They are long days at the UK Open, but I like it, I’m up for it. I love what I do, I love playing on the big stage and that is what makes me happy.”
