Old-fashioned, dogged Michael van Gerwen recovers with a strong game at the World Darts Championship: ‘On an upward trend’

Michael van Gerwen has recovered very well from his – in his own words – worst World Cup match ever in the first round. With an average of 100.20, the three-time world champion from Vlijmen put aside the Irishman William O’Connor with good play in the second round: 3-1. Earlier in the evening, Danny Noppert was surprisingly eliminated.
