Michael van Gerwen will not win the Grand Slam of Darts for the third time in his career this week. Mighty Mike went down 16-10 against Luke Humphries in the quarterfinals.
Van Gerwen was bitterly disappointed afterwards. "This was totally unnecessary. I already didn't feel good in the preparation and started the match very badly. Afterwards I tried to get into my rhythm a bit, but it just didn't work out," Van Gerwen told Viaplay.
"This is tremendously sour," the 33-year-old Dutchman continued. "I kept going for it one hundred percent and didn't give up, but he also threw some high finishes at important moments. I really owe this defeat entirely to myself."

- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
