Fallon Sherrock has advised fellow darts players to push through challenges and avoid using sickness as an excuse for subpar performances on the grand stage. While Michael van Gerwen has been absent from Premier League matches due to illness, Sherrock remains unsympathetic towards his struggles.
Van Gerwen recently withdrew from three Premier League nights and appeared off his game upon his return against Gerwyn Price. However, Sherrock displayed skepticism when discussing Mighty Mike’s recent difficulties, emphasizing the importance of persevering through adversity.
Acknowledging the challenges of playing while unwell, Sherrock highlighted the resilience required in the sport. Drawing a parallel, she noted the physical discomfort women face during periods but emphasized the need to push through and deliver top performances despite such obstacles.
Despite his setbacks, Van Gerwen holds the third position in the Premier League standings. In contrast, Luke Littler, the reigning world titleholder, has encountered a rough start, currently ranking seventh out of eight players ahead of the upcoming match in Cardiff.
Sherrock remains optimistic about Littler’s potential resurgence, noting his strategic approach to the competition. She anticipates a strong comeback from Littler in the latter stages of the tournament, surprising critics with a remarkable performance leading up to the O2 in London.
Despite recent criticisms and boos in Belfast, Sherrock believes Littler is embracing the role of a provocateur to fuel his competitive spirit. She commends his evolving character and expects him to capitalize on this persona in future matches.
