Michael van Gerwen claimed his first European Tour title since May 2019 in seeing off Rob Cross at the German Darts Championship this past Sunday.
For Van Gerwen, he credits his mental strength when it wasn’t going his way in recent years as a deciding factor.
"I've been waiting for this for a really long time, I've been working hard," said Van Gerwen.
"I keep fighting and never give up. Mentally I showed a lot over the past few months to work myself back towards where I should be."To win a tournament feels absolutely phenomenal, it means a lot to me.
"To have crowds back is fantastic, it means the world to me.
"I love to play the tournaments in Germany; these crowds are what darts is all about, they come here to enjoy themselves and finally I am enjoying myself too."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
