Confidence Restored

Reflecting on his performance, Van Gerwen expressed satisfaction but emphasized the need for continued hard work:

"To do this again feels amazing, it's been a while for me. I think I played a fantastic game, the first four or five legs especially were of a very high standard. It's been hard for me the last year or so, my confidence level hasn't been great but if I keep working hard I can keep producing performances like this."
