Michael van Gerwen is a finalist in the World Grand Prix. The third-seeded Brabant won with sensational numbers from Peter Wright (4-0). It is striking that Van Gerwen only had to give up one leg during the entire match.
In the final, on Sunday evening Van Gerwen will meet Nathan Aspinall, who surprisingly defeated first-seed Gerwyn Price.

Van Gerwen was already in great shape, with convincing wins over Gary Anderson, Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey. Wright, who had gotten rid of Dimitri Van den Berg with great difficulty in the previous round, has now received a merciless beating.
Was Van Gerwen that good or Wright that bad? With only one close result in twenty attempts, the Scotsman was unable to make a match of it.
Wright falls through the ice
Obviously he can do a lot better, we all know that, “Van Gerwen said in a conversation with Viaplay.” I think Peter Wright fell through the ice. You have to take advantage of it at the right time “.
With 63.16 percent rake, the Dutchman scored by far the highest percentage this week. “But in the end I missed a few doubles,” added Van Gerwen on a critical note.
However, he goes to the final with a lot of confidence. “I think I’ve been playing well in the last few days. I feel really good.”
