Van Gerwen admits Sherrock success isn't a 'big thing': "I am not surprised by her success at all"

Van Gerwen, who works with Modus who manage the Milton Keynes ace does a lot of exhibitions with her and said that he is not surprised at all as a result with how she is perfoming.

Despite that, he isn't up for giving advice and said that he is concentrating like she will be on winning the PDC World Championship.

“Fallon is doing quite well. With her averages and double percentages, she is changing women’s darts at the moment — but she hasn’t won anything yet," said Van Gerwen.

“If you are going to play in a tournament with the men, then you are going to be treated like the men. I’m going to play her, somewhere along the way. That would be nice. She’s a phenomenal player, so I am not surprised by her success at all.

“Everyone makes a big thing of it, but I’ve known all along what she’s capable of, so for me it’s not a big thing.

“She said to me, ‘I’m having to do a lot of press'. I replied, ‘Now you know how I have felt for the last eight or nine years'.

“I’m not interested about giving advice — I’m here for myself, to win the world championship, and whatever she does, I don’t really care.
