Van Gerwen gracious after defeat to Wright in 2020 PDC World Championship Final: “He deserved to win in the end”

Michael van Gerwen lost out in the final of the 2020 PDC World Championship as he once again couldn’t make it back-to-back World titles.

Van Gerwen has had a hold over Peter Wright in finals for some time but succumbed with the latter putting in an exceptional display to win 7-3.

As usual though, MVG was gracious in defeat and he said that while it hurts a lot, he gives credit to Wright and that he deserved it in the end.

"Of course it hurts a lot to lose this final but the credit goes to Peter," said the gracious world number one.

"He played a great tournament and was better than me in the biggest moments and I think he deserved to win in the end.

"I can only blame myself for missing at important moments but I will work hard to come back stronger from this."
