Van Gerwen Disappoints Again and is Eliminated Immediately at World Grand Prix
Michael van Gerwen was eliminated in the first round of the World Grand Prix in Leicester on Tuesday after losing 1-2 to Ryan Joyce. The 37-year-old, currently ranked ninth, struggled significantly with doubles, finishing with only a 19% finish rate despite winning the first set. This defeat continues a poor run for Van Gerwen, who has also exited early from the World Series Finals and floor tournaments in Den Bosch earlier this month. Meanwhile, top favorite Luke Littler was surprisingly knocked out by Luke Woodhouse, and Gian van Veen is scheduled to face Dirk van Duijvenbode in the first round.
