“I think it was really big of course to win another Premier League night it’s match three,” he added. “It’s hard. I think I had a tough draw this night, to win the first game against Gezzy (Gerwyn Price) then Luke Littler then of course Nathan Aspinall in the final, it wasn’t easy, but of course you still have to do it. Then to make it actually happen is always a great feeling.
“Of course you want to make yourself as comfortable as possible but I think with this win I can look forward next week but that’s what I want to do. I want to make sure I put myself in a comfortable position, make sure I do the damage again and make sure I get more points, that’s the only thing I can do.”
But a focused and determined Van Gerwen at the top of his game is a worrying proposition for Littler and every other Premier League rival.
