For van Gerwen, he hasn’t had it all his own way either by any stretch of the imagination. ‘Mighty Mike’ overcame James Hurrell in Round 2, before beating Brendan Dolan in Round 3 and Jeffrey de Graaf in the Last 16. He then defeated Callan Rydz in the quarter-final, before his win over Chris Dobey in the semis.
