In the car disappointed to be on the way home. I felt good tonight and don’t think I played that badly. Made a few mistake early in the game which I can only blame myself for. Credit to @IanDiamondWhite and good luck for the rest of the tournament. Thank you all 💚💚
Van Gerwen riled by post-match interview after defeat to White: 'You are asking me stupid questions'

Michael van Gerwen was surprisingly beaten by Ian White (10-4) in the second round at the European Championship. Afterwards he was not amused with the questions from RTL reporter Arjan van der Giessen.
Van der Giessen confronted Van Gerwen with the fact that he lost a lot of legs by missing doubles. "What a stupid question that is. I threw almost a 102 average here and you are going to be critical here. Normally you are very soft and now you suddenly behave very differently, this is not you. It seems like you want to score points for the viewers'', said an annoyed Van Gerwen.
''Of course I'm disappointed after losing this match'', the world number one continued. ''White played a superb game, his best ever on television, that can happen. I have a good feeling about this match. If I had an average of 85 or 90 I could understand your critical attitude, but I just played a very good game myself.''

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
