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.

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
