Van Gerwen frustrated after UK Open semi-final exit: "Lately I often have players playing the match of their lives against me"
PDC
For Michael van Gerwen, he lost out in the semi-finals on Sunday evening at the UK open. The World Number Two encountered an impressive Luke Humphries.
Van Gerwen threw over a 106 average but Humphries produced a sublime display.
"He played one of the best matches of his career. Just about everything worked out for him and you don't really expect that because he hasn't been doing so well the last few months. Lately I often have players playing the match of their lives against me, on the other hand I have to make sure I become even more dominant and confident", Van Gerwen said to RTL 7.
So the Dutchman knows what he has to do. "I'm going to practice even harder in the coming weeks to become even better. From this tournament, I have no good feeling about it, I want to win and nothing else counts for me."
Fat dirty Dutchman - not anywhere near Phil now or ever. Crying like a little girl about the competition - WTF?!?!?!?!???
The bottom line is van gurning won’t congratulate a player just finds all kinds of excuses and does not have the Phil Taylor style domination to win tournament after tournament, it’s all talk and no substance.
Fat dirty Dutchman - he is no Phil Taylor. Who blames the competition?!?!?!?! WTF.......

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
