Fallon Sherrock has urged darts players to persevere and avoid using illness as an excuse for subpar performances on the grandest stages. While Michael van Gerwen has been absent from Premier League action due to illness, Sherrock is unsympathetic towards the Dutch player.
Van Gerwen recently pulled out of three Premier League nights and struggled upon his return against Gerwyn Price. However, Sherrock seemed dismissive of Mighty Mike’s recent challenges, emphasizing the importance of pushing through despite adversities.
Sherrock pointed out that dealing with health issues like Van Gerwen’s can be tough but stressed the need to give their best effort and carry on. Drawing a comparison, she highlighted the challenges women face with menstrual cramps, emphasizing the necessity to persevere despite difficulties.
Despite Van Gerwen’s setbacks, he remains in third place in the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, Luke Littler, after winning his second world title at Ally Pally, has had a tough start to the competition, currently ranking seventh out of eight players before the upcoming Cardiff match.
Sherrock remains optimistic about Littler’s performance, believing that he is setting up a personal challenge for himself and is poised for a strong comeback in the later stages of the tournament. She expressed confidence in his ability to secure a spot at the O2 in London, emphasizing his determination to succeed.
