Wright humiliates Van Gerwen: ‘But I threw dramatically’ | Darts

sport">Yet it was Snakebite not very happy afterwards. “Michael simply did not come close to his normal level today and I benefited from that, but I was also just throwing dramatically”, said the Scot, who recorded an average of 105.09. Van Gerwen got no further than a score of 91.54 per three arrows.

sport">Wright is in fourth place in the Premier League rankings with three games to go. That position entitles him to participate in the final evening. Van Gerwen occupies the fifth place. De Brabander has as many points as his rival, but has won fewer games so far.

sport">The victory over Van Gerwen was therefore very important to Wright. “This is indeed one massive result. I really never expected to beat Michael 1-8. ”

sport">That he is not Van Gerwen on one white wash did little to Wright. “I didn’t think about it at 5-0 either. That’s more in Michael. I am also sure that he will soon beat me 8-0. I’m just not nearly as ruthless as he is. I was especially afraid that he would suddenly gain momentum and equalize the score. I had actually hoped that he would win more games ”, Wright sympathized with the fans who watched the one-sided party from home.

sport">The 50-year-old darter refuses to think that in the battle for a place in the last four, he has finally settled with Van Gerwen, who will face leader Glen Durrant on Thursday. “Michael will be fine. He will want to show why he is number 1 in the world. ”
