Van Gerwen downs De Sousa in hard fought battle, set for World Grand Prix final rematch with Aspinall

A week on from their battle in the final of the World Grand Prix, they will rematch at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy as Michael van Gerwen will face Nathan Aspinall albeit not in double in during the Quarter-Finals of the final European Tour of the season.
Van Gerwen was not at his best against Jose de Sousa but got over the line in a 6-4 win. It was a 96 average and 6/16 on the doubles from The Green Machine.
After initially going 2-1 up, De Sousa broke due to missed darts at a double from Van Gerwen but was immediately hit back after missed darts of his own from 121 and a subsequent visit allowed MVG back for 3-3.
This back and forth continued until an 11-darter for an 81 checkout from MVG was followed by a less dazzling hold on double 20 for 5-4 before again pouncing on missed darts at a double to seal it.
While again for Aspinall, it was another day and another match he perhaps got lucky to win as he produced another mammoth comeback.
Well not as mammoth as 5-0 down, but Aspinall came from 5-2 down to seal a 6-5 win over Dirk van Duijvenbode to seal his place in the final session. But can he gain revenge tonight?

- 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
