As a result, MVG drops to third place in the table and has shown inconsistency after his dazzling brilliance at times this week.
"Nothing worked, everything I tried went wrong", Van Gerwen opens to RTL 7. "After that, I started throwing too tightly. Jonny started not great either, but I was not able to do more and then of course he got a lot of confidence. "
Van Gerwen closes the first nine days of the Premier League with eleven points and is now in third place in the table. "This week's conclusion is that I have achieved two points too few."
"However, nothing has been lost yet, everyone is still close together. I look forward to playing in Germany this weekend, although I will have to flip the switch after this weak performance ", the 31-year-old Dutchman concluded.
