"Maybe I was trying too hard in front of my home crowd, but it was a hard game," said Van Gerwen.
"I'm disappointed in myself a little bit because my preparation was good. I feel good and that's the most important thing.
"Overall, of course I could have done a little bit better here and there but I won my game and that's the most important thing.
"To play in front of these fans was absolutely amazing. I'm glad to be back and I hope I can show them some more action tomorrow.
"It means a lot to me - everyone knows I've been going through a really rough period for myself, and then to have to perform in front of your home crowd makes it slightly difficult and makes you want to win even more.
"I know there's still a lot of work to do but I feel good about it."

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
