"This weekend I think I was unstoppable": Van Gerwen brushes off surgery concerns with sensational Poland Darts Masters win
PDCSunday, 09 July 2023 at 08:00
Michael van Gerwen played through the pain barrier after recent dental surgery to seal the inaugural Poland Darts Masters with some of his best displays all year.
Van Gerwen defeated Dimitri van den Bergh in the final 8-3 with a staggering 113.22 average, the highest ever in a World Series final.
He was in a superb mood all day brushing aside Luke Humphries with a 110 average and hitting 104 in seeing off Michael Smith.
Dimitri van den Bergh who was celebrating his birthday was a mere roadblock from there on and despite the surgery, MVG leaves Warsaw happy and confident after a tough few weeks.
“I’ve just come back from surgery and I’ve had a really tough couple of weeks,” reflected Van Gerwen.
“You have to stand up and you have to battle. I always say if I am competing in something, I want to win it, and this feels amazing.
“Dimitri played well in the final, but this weekend I think I was unstoppable.
“Fair play to all the Polish darts fans. Honestly, I didn’t expect this. The atmosphere blew me away, and I hope I can come back here next year.”

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
