Michael van Gerwen starts the World Grand Prix on Tuesday night as the defending champion. In his opening match, he will take on young Northern Irishman Josh Rock.
“It should be a fantastic game against Josh. He is a phenomenal player,” opened Van Gerwen, who managed to win the World Grand Prix in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022. “I am happy with my game at the moment, but this is a really tough event to win, and with the short format in the early rounds, you can’t afford to make any mistakes."
From now on, the majors will follow one another in rapid succession. “It’s a crucial period coming up, but I will be ready for it, trust me. This is only the start."
“I want to be back at the top [of the rankings]. It is going to be a tough task, but I know I’m capable of doing that, so I just need to focus on myself and make sure I play my A-game.”
