Michael van Gerwen He looked a little different than usual with the last finalist of the world championships swaying his new black anniversary shirt for this weekend only in Winmau World Masters. But it was the same mission as he passed by Bradley Brooks 3-1.
In addition to the sloppy second set, Van Gerwen offered Brooks a little chance with “Bamm Bamm”, which was perhaps one of the players of the month through his feats Q-school, and also qualifying that he is unable to produce on a large stage.
But it is a learning curve against MVG, which has moved and tomorrow could face Gary Anderson. The new shirt reflects his five years in Winmau and has just signed a new 10 -year contract, it is black with gold instead of Green for the Dutchman, but it was not unlucky omen.
Van Gerwen started perfectly from 88 cash on a bull per break. MVG missed three in a double 20 for the opening set, but Brooks never looked at the settlement and was never in the race in Set One.
Brooks looked like a good start, but 171 left 94 for MVG, which for the first time got at 94 and closed the door with 11-penalty to get 1-0.
64 Sigh Brooks cash registers finally get on the board. But he could not take a break, and Van Gerwen hit another 171 and looked like Brooks was unable to risk at the age of 138. But he missed more darts to Double, and Brooks threw himself at 1-1.
With 68, Van Gerwen cracked to return to the right track. 106 The cash register saw MVG sealing the set and threw on victory in the next set. At the 80th box office, he saw MVG lead and moved five darts to nine zones.
Van Gerwen was late at 128 to win in the style. Brooks was late at 47 to stay in it, and Van Gerwen sealed the victory.
