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?

- 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

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
