For Michael van Gerwen, the third night of the Premier League Darts ended in disappointment. The 33-year-old Dutchman went down immediately in his opening match against Nathan Aspinall.
Van Gerwen lost 6-5, dropping to sixth place in the Premier League standings. "Maybe too rushed, maybe too eager. It was just really bad, full stop. It didn't go well throughout the match. I gave him a lot of space unnecessarily. I can blame myself for that. This just sucks," Van Gerwen told Viaplay.
Too little, too late
'Mighty Mike' fell behind 4-1, but then fought his way back to 5-5. "In the last leg I start badly again, that just shouldn't happen. I thought I would be further ahead. We play so many matches and so many tournaments. Unfortunately that's going to happen one day. Couple of good finishes thrown, but in the end I just came up short. I just failed."

- 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
