Fallon Sherrock has urged darts players to push through challenges and avoid using illness as an excuse for subpar performances on the grand stage. Despite Michael van Gerwen’s absence from recent Premier League matches due to illness, Sherrock shows little sympathy towards the Dutch player.
Van Gerwen, after missing three Premier League nights, struggled upon his return against Gerwyn Price. Sherrock, when questioned about Van Gerwen’s recent difficulties, expressed a dismissive attitude, emphasizing the importance of playing to the best of one’s ability despite adversities.
Sherrock highlighted the physical challenges faced by female players, such as dealing with menstrual cramps, and emphasized the necessity of persevering through such obstacles without making excuses. She pointed out that as a professional darts player, one must deliver a top performance regardless of personal difficulties.
Despite Van Gerwen’s setbacks, he maintains the third position in the Premier League standings. In contrast, Luke Littler, the two-time world titleholder, has encountered a tough start to the competition, currently ranking seventh out of eight players before the upcoming matches in Cardiff.
Sherrock remains optimistic about Littler’s potential turnaround, noting his strategic approach to the competition. She anticipates Littler making a strong comeback in the following weeks, surprising spectators with his performance and securing a spot at the O2 in London.
With regards to Van Gerwen’s evolving persona, Sherrock observed a shift in his character, now embracing a more provocative and antagonistic role to engage the audience. She believes that Van Gerwen’s strategic play on his new persona will contribute to his success in future competitions.
