Michael van Gerwen put in a stellar display to topple Dave Chisnall at Players Championship 21 as Luke Littler fell short in his attempts to land back-to-back titles.
Dutch star Van Gerwen averaged just shy of 107 as he powered past Chisnall in an 8-4 victory to pick up his first ranking title of 2024 in Wigan. Littler, who has won an astonishing 33 per cent of the events he's entered this year, saw his rampant unbeaten run come to an end as Maik Kuivenhoven pulled off a shock 6-3 victory in the last 16 to end his hopes of landing back-to-back titles.
