There were no such worries for three-time champion Michael van Gerwen, who brushed aside Welsham Lewy Williams 3-nil.
It was darting domination from 'The Green Machine', as he continued his imperious form in 2022.
DOMINANCE FROM MvG! ?
Michael van Gerwen sends a message to the rest of the field, averaging over a ton for the 34th time on the Ally Pally stage, as he completes a superb whitewash victory!
