BRILLIANCE FROM MvG 🔥 Sensational performance from Van Gerwen who averages almost 106 as he steamrolls Adam Hunt 5-0! An absolute baptism of fire on Hunt's debut! #BoyleSportsGSOD
Van Gerwen breezes past Hunt, Defending champion Price survives Suzuki scare
PDCMonday, 16 November 2020 at 22:49
Two of the World's top three have begun their Grand Slam of Darts campaigns with contrasting performances in Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price.
Van Gerwen was a potential question mark heading into tonight with two early exits in the PDC Winter Series after a recurring back problem marred the end of his World Cup of Darts campaign but he eased past Adam Hunt in a sensational display.
Mighty Mike averaged 105.8 to whitewash the North East debutant despite not hitting any 180's but he was clinical on an area which has been a problem in doubling with 5/9 and a high checkout of 100. A tricky test will await though tomorrow when he plays Gabriel Clemens who saw off Joe Cullen earlier tonight.
While for Price, he nearly suffered a defeat to start his defence of his Grand Slam of Darts title as he was pushed all the way once more by Mikuru Suzuki.
Suzuki hasn't really played a lot since the World Championship at the start of the year in both codes with the BDO seeing her become the Ladies World Champion but she nearly defeated 'The Iceman' missing four match darts in the decider.
A brilliant 135 and 116 were hit en route by 'The Miracle' but Price snatched victory in the end to deny her a famous victory on the opening night.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
