WHITLOCK BEATS VAN GERWEN 🧙♂️ It's brilliant from Simon Whitlock as he makes it four victories on the spin over Michael van Gerwen, beating him 6-3 to reach the Quarter-Finals. It's a disappointing week for Van Gerwen whose best run comes to an end in the Last 16 stage.
Whitlock hands Van Gerwen fourth straight defeat as disappointing Super Series concludes
PDCWednesday, 28 April 2021 at 07:03
Michael van Gerwen will leave PDC Super Series III without a title once more as the ProTour woes of the World Number Three continue.
Van Gerwen reached the Last 16 on Tuesday after previously not making it past the Last 64 in the days prior.
He lost out though to Simon Whitlock who produced a fourth straight defeat against Mighty Mike winning 6-3 in the end.
Prior to his defeat, while not being at his best, he showed signs that he might go on a run with wins over Gary Blades (6-3), Lukas Wenig (6-3) and John Michael (6-1).
But Whitlock went 4-1 up on Van Gerwen and the latter took out his frustrations with his display by smashing in a superb 145 checkout befitting of his celebration following that.
But this didn't derail the Aussie ace who broke back immediately and surged to victory from there to reach the Quarter-Finals 6-3.
It'll be back to the drawing board for The Green Machine after not claiming a title in April for the first time since 2011.

- 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

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
