Van Gerwen reflects on Chisnall defeat following Ally Pally exit
Michael van Gerwen has vowed to bounce back from his William Hill World Darts Championship exit to Dave Chisnall.
The Dutchman saw his bid for a fourth World Championship title ended by an outstanding Chisnall performance on New Year s Day, as the Morecambe man inflicted a stunning 5-0 defeat on the top seed.
Van Gerwen s average of 98.29 was his lowest of the tournament, and his 7/16 checkout ratio was also his lowest percentage as Chisnall punished the world number one in a ruthless display.
The defeat was Van Gerwen s first to Chisnall in 28 meetings, and also leaves his position as world number one in jeopardy, with Gerwyn Price able to take over atop the PDC Order of Merit if he scoops the £500,000 title on Sunday.
