World Darts Championship - Three-time World Darts Champion van Gerwen on course in London

Dutchman Michael van Gerwen has started the World Darts Championship with a clear opening win. Mighty Mike, as van Gerwen is known, defeated Irishman Keane Barry 3-0 to progress to the third round.

"Of course I can still play much better, but that was just the first game," said van Gerwen. Alongside England's Luke Humphries, the 34-year-old is the tournament favorite in London. Van Gerwen and Humphries could meet in the semi-finals. The Dutchman won the world's most important trophy in 2014, 2017 and 2019.

Meanwhile, rising star Luke Humphries, also from England, shares the limelight with van Gerwen, earning recognition as a tournament dark horse.
