Van Gerwen can follow in Van Barneveld and Taylor's footsteps after superb wins in previous matches

Michael van Gerwen did not lose a set in his quarter-final and semi-final at the World Darts Championship. In the last eight, Chris Dobey was beaten 5-0 and then Dimitri van den Bergh was drubbed 6-0 in the semi-final.
Statistics platform Premium Dart Data reports that only twice before has it happened that a player at a World Darts Championship did not lose a set at the last eight and the last four.
Raymond van Barneveld did so during the 2007 edition against Alan Tabern (5-0) and Andy Jenkins (6-0). Phil Taylor repeated the feat in 2010 against Adrian Lewis (5-0) and Mark Webster (6-0). A good omen for Van Gerwen; both Van Barneveld and Taylor subsequently also won the world title.

- 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
