Van Gerwen on a mission after strong start at World Championship: 'There's still a lot more to work for'

Michael van Gerwen is successfully through his opener at the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship after hitting a 109 average against Ryan Murray to win 3-1 in sets.
Van Gerwen spoke afterwards and admitted that his confidence is getting higher but that he is not looking too far ahead.
"This is what I've probably missed this past year, games like this that keeps you going in the tournament and give you confidence. My confidence is good but you still have to do it game after game and you can't look too far ahead because there's a lot more to go," said Van Gerwen post match.
"I'm always on a mission. I know there's still a lot more to work for but I'm getting close to this."
"They don't have to fear me but I will bite really hard. If you play games like this and when you feel this confidence, I know there's more to get and more to go for and you have to work hard for it."
The Battle for the World Number One spot has been a big talking point and Mighty Mike has made his feelings known about the current Order of Merit.
"I always said to everyone before that the ranking system is not right. I think they should go for a points system because anyone who wins two World titles will be Number One regardless of what he wins for the rest of the year."

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
