Van Gerwen on continuing return to form with Players Championship win: "The only medicine is winning games"

Michael van Gerwen sealed his first ProTour title of the season defeating Martin Schindler at Players Championship 8 in Niedernhausen.

It is a second ranking title of the year for MVG eclipsing his effort last year and he said it is the best medicine for returning to form.

"I think I did the right things at the right moments and that makes you win finals like this," said Van Gerwen. "I didn't play phenomenal but I think I did okay today.

"You want to keep pushing and keep performing well and that takes a lot of energy out of you, but I'm not here to play a few rounds, I want to win these tournaments. It gives you more confidence and more energy.

"The only medicine for getting back on track is winning games and winning tournaments. That's the only thing you can do.

"I was hanging in there and I never gave up, and I think today my focus was there and absolute will to win was there, and that's the only thing that matters."
