Michael van Gerwen once more won't make it four World Championship titles after a stunning defeat to Dave Chisnall who romped to a 5-0 victory in one of the most dominant displays seen on the Alexandra Palace stage.
Van Gerwen despite the heavy defeat took time out to speak to Sky Sports afterwards and heaped praise on the St Helens ace while admitting he was far from his best also.

"It was a difficult match, I knew that before and when Dave is in form you have to work hard to beat him but I didn't show up. I let myself down and I'm gutted, it's something to think about in the next few days. It's the best Dave's ever played, fair play to him," said Van Gerwen to Sky Sports.
"It is the best he's ever played, I know that by fact. Every opportunity he had, he took. I didn't turn up, my scoring power wasn't there and I was even looking to my stats and that's nothing like my game. Well done Dave and I played crap."

- 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
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- 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
