Michael van Gerwen again defeated Michael Smith in a 6-4 win as his Premier League Darts dominance continued in Liverpool.
Van Gerwen saw off Smith after his UK Open final disappointment and said that while he’s not at his best yet, the table doesn’t lie.
“You have to turn up in a final against a player like Michael Smith, and I’m glad I did,” said Van Gerwen.
“When you are under pressure, it’s the best feeling in the world to produce good darts. It gives you joy and it gives you confidence.
“I know how to win without playing my A-game, but I think in patches tonight against Michael Smith, I did play really well.“I am not where I want to be yet, but I am winning games and when you see the table, I can’t really complain!”

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
