"I played well, especially in the important moments, and I was able to keep the pressure on my opponents," he continues. “Sometimes my energy levels in certain games hasn’t been great, so you need to find solutions, and this is a key moment for me today.''

Nevertheless, van Gerwen isn't totally happy with his level just yet. “I feel good, I feel comfortable, but there is more to come,” he adds ominously.

Van Gerwen is now second with Littler in the Premier League Darts standings, two points off leader Michael Smith. "Luke is extremely talented, we have seen that over the past few months, but so am I," Van Gerwen concluded.
