The MVG 2020 curse M - Clayton beats him, loses next round MP - Whitlock beats him, loses next round WSF - Durrant beats him, loses next round GP - Whitlock beats him, loses next round Euros - White beats him, loses next round GS - Whitlock beats him, loses next round
Simon Whitlock may have continued Michael van Gerwen's barren runs in major tournaments with only the UK Open to his name this year but the curse of beating the World Number One also continued.
Whitlock lost out to Jose de Sousa on Monday night and it is the third time he has gone through the curse. He was also knocked out in the very next round at the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix, where he lost to Gary Anderson and Dirk van Duijvenbode respectively.
The same goes for Jonny Clayton at the Masters, who went out to Nathan Aspinall in the second round. Glen Durrant beat Van Gerwen at the World Series of Darts Finals, before losing to James Wade.
Ian White also became a victim of the Van Gerwen curse as he defeated the world number one in the second round of the European Championship. The Diamond then lost to Devon Petersen, who went on to reach his maiden major semi-final.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
