Opposed to the Englishman Chris Dobey (15th) this Thursday evening, Van Gerwen did not flinch, leaving only the third round to his opponent. The Dutchman, already winner of the World Championships in 2014, 2017 and 2019, will try to win a fourth world crown. After his victory, he did not want to celebrate, remaining focused on the final. “ We are still so far away…the title is still far away. This is what we need to keep telling ourselves “, he conceded.
