Michael van Gerwen made a good impression in the first round of the Shanghai Darts Masters. The 29-year-old Dutchman booked a 6-1 victory over Lihao Wen, who made his second appearance at the World Series event in China.
'Mighty Mike' seemed to be looking for a 170 finish against the Chinese qualifier. In seven legs Van Gerwen left 170 at four occasions and 164 once.
In the fifth leg, at his third attempt, the two-time world champion finally hit 'The Big Fish'. Van Gerwen left 170 after nine darts and hit the treble 20 twice, before he found the bullseye to complete the highest possible checkout.
One leg earlier, Wen managed to claim a leg after the world number one missed four doubles. After the fifth leg, 'MvG' kept his focus and celebrated a 6-1 victory.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £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
