“I’ve said in interviews that I have to start fast tonight and that’s what I did.

But he was behind me the whole game, those layups — he’d make two triples and I’d have to come back with two or three.

“Everyone dreams of winning this trophy. You have to go through a tough field. I can’t believe it.

I’m going to keep talking about this, but the first match against Ryan Mikel (in the second round) was really important, and I’ve been coming to that the whole time.

“At 2-0 (in the final set) I started to get nervous but I told myself to stay calm.

“I was throwing for the match and to finish it was special.”

“Obviously I’d love to win it before Michael does, being the youngest means everything, that’s definitely what I’m looking for.”

Van Gerwen then spoke about losing his record, admitting that it’s pretty much inevitable as young stars are born.

I didn’t do it any justice, but that’s the way it is… After the 4-0 loss I don’t think I was the worst player.

Every 17 years a star is born and he is one of them. I had a lovely tournament and enjoyed every moment of the ride.

I was struggling with my own game and I let myself down at the beginning when you did it against Luke Littler.

I am 35 years old, he is 17 years old. A star is born every 17 years, you know what I mean?

I am an old man compared to him!
