MvG Sends Out Chilling Warning to Rivals

Mighty Michael van Gerwen has sent out a chilling warning to his rivals saying he wants to win “non-stop” now. The Dutchman claimed his seventh European Tour title of the year as he defeated James Wilson 8-6 in the final of the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim on Sunday. World No.1 MvG lost just seven legs over the course of the weekend on the way to landing the £25,000 prize. Van Gerwen was at his unstoppable best, hitting a 103.56 tournament average across the weekend which began with a 6-0 rout of Cristo Reyes in round two. He revealed: “It's hard to perform at a high standard every week but I'm happy with how I played this weekend. “I didn't make too many mistakes which is always pleasing and I loved playing in front of this great crowd. I think 17 tournament wins so far this year isn't bad! “There are so many tournaments coming ahead and I want to win every one of them. I'm going to be at it non-stop until the end of the year.” The Dutch ace roared ahead into a 3-0 lead before Wilson tidied up 44 to get his first leg on the board. Wilson wired double 16 for a break of throw before clinical Van Gerwen stepped up to land magnificent 118 and 154 checkouts in back-to-back legs to open up a commanding 5-1 lead. However, the Yorkshireman never gave up and clawed his way back into contention at 3-5 down, only for Van Gerwen to reassert his dominance and move within a leg of the title at 7-3. Once again, Wilson refused to go down without a fight and found himself dreaming of the impossible after rattling off three successive legs thanks to some brilliant finishing under pressure. Van Gerwen ended Wilson's hopes with an outstanding 11-dart leg to lift the German Darts Championship for a second time. Wilson's impressive run to his third PDC ranking final saw the Huddersfield thrower record impressive victories over Jermaine Wattimena, Jonny Clayton, Robert Thornton, Ron Meulenkamp and Mensur Suljovic.
