Van Gerwen after ending PDC ranking title drought at Players Championship 29: "My hunger is back"
PDCThursday, 04 November 2021 at 09:00
Michael van Gerwen made sure that his PDC ranking title drought wouldn't make into an unwanted record of no titles in a year for the first time in a decade by winning Players Championship 29 on Wednesday.
He defeated Nathan Aspinall 8-5 to join Chris Dobey in the victors this week in PDC Super Series 8 but he isn't resting on his laurels and while the confidence is coming back, it's only one notch on his route back to the top.
"In the last Super Series I lost three games with averages well over 100, of course that's annoying but you have to keep believing in yourself," Van Gerwen reflected.
"When that happens you have to work harder, and today was one of those hard days where you have to step up a bit and I did the right things at the right moments.
"A win like this is going to give me a lot of confidence but there's a lot of darts still to play this year and I always treat every game like a final.
"Overall, I feel good and that's the most important thing. My hunger is back and my performances are getting back to where they were."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
