Michael van Gerwen set a World Matchplay record last night by successfully setting up a double from a score of 181-220 five times: 183 - T20 T20 T13 - 24 196 - T20 T20 T20 - 16 208 - T20 T20 T16 - 40 210 - T20 T20 T18 - 36 217 - T20 T20 T19 - 40
Michael van Gerwen has set an extraordinary record at the World Matchplay in his semi-final against Dimitri van den Bergh.
Never before has a player in one match at that tournament managed to leave a double with a cover shot from 181-220 five times. A cover shot is the turn before the doubles are hit.
For example Van Gerwen threw a 180 from 196 to leave a double 8. He also hit a double with scores of 159, 168, 174 and 177.

- 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
