Van Gerwen dumped out by Blades in Last 32 at Players Championship 7

Michael van Gerwen won’t seal his first ProTour of the season at Players Championship 7 with a shock defeat to Gary Blades who has made up the numbers today.

Van Gerwen alongside Gerwyn Price and James Wade were the only Premier League Darts stars to make the trip to Niedernhausen and it wasn’t a fruitful start for MVG.

‘The Iceman’ will now be the favourite after seeing off Connor Scutt and he is currently facing Ted Evetts in the Last 32.

Damon Heta, Jose de Sousa and Luke Humphries join Blades so far in the Last 16 with Scott Williams and Martijn Kleermaker also on the verge.
