Fallon Sherrock has advised darts players to push through challenges and avoid using illness as an excuse for subpar performances on the grand stage. Despite Michael van Gerwen’s absence from Premier League matches due to sickness, Sherrock lacks empathy for the Dutch player.
Van Gerwen recently pulled out of three Premier League nights and struggled upon his return against Gerwyn Price. Sherrock expressed little sympathy for Mighty Mike’s recent difficulties. She highlighted the importance of trying to perform at one’s best despite health issues, emphasizing the need to persevere and carry on.
Sherrock drew a comparison to the challenges women face, mentioning dealing with periods and associated discomfort. She stressed the necessity of stepping up and delivering a strong performance in competitive situations, acknowledging the inherent demands of being a darts player.
Despite Van Gerwen’s setbacks, he remains in third place in the Premier League standings. In contrast, Luke Littler, the reigning world titleholder, has encountered a tough start to the competition, currently positioned seventh out of eight players before the upcoming matches in Cardiff.
Sherrock remains optimistic about Littler’s potential comeback, portraying him as someone who thrives on self-imposed challenges. She anticipates a strong resurgence from him in the later stages of the competition, believing he has the capability to surprise many with his performance.
