Michael van Gerwen came from the players 13 in Rosmalen in the Netherlands on Monday, which means that this year the Dutch suffered four opening defeats when he continues his fighting.
The triple world champion on average was only 85.73 when he suffered a shock of 6-4 defeats Mario Vandenbogaerde, who began on the day 69.
Damon Heta appeared victorious when he won his first 2025 PDC title thanks to the victory of 8-6 over Nathan Aspinal.
As a result, the Australian rises to the seventh to the order of PDC merit, because it did not lift the silver for eight months by Monday.

“I didn’t know when my next victory was coming, so I’m really excited to win today,” Heta said.
“For some reason, you will ever get prizes in the arrows if you don’t play great and don’t get what you deserve when you play well.
“I worked on several things in terms of sewing lineup. I’m looking for those on cents to move my game to the next level.
“I’m a hard worker, I will do what I do, and hopefully I will appear on big events and get my rewards.”
Heta opened with winnings over Adam Hunt, Berry van Peer and Andy Baetes before defeating Jermaine Wattimen to reach the quarterfinals and overcome Karel Sedlacek and Andrew Gilding to stand up with aspinalle.

The highlight of the night seven of the last clashes between Luk Littler and Van Gerwen, where the eighteen-year-old hit a brilliant nine-darter!
While Van Gerwen was discarded in the first round, Gerwyn Price was also handed over to the premature departure in the second round.
The Dutchman was forced to retreat from the Darts Premier League in Berlin after suffering bizarre shoulder injuries, which he himself suffered from his shoulder last Thursday, but returned to action at the Ao Arena in Manchester.
Despite the defeat of Chris Dobey, he lost 6-2 in his opening with a possible winner of Nathan Aspinall night.
