Fallon Sherrock has advised darts players to push through challenges and avoid using illness as an excuse for subpar performances. While Michael van Gerwen has been absent from Premier League matches due to illness, Sherrock shows little sympathy towards the Dutch player.

Van Gerwen has recently pulled out of three Premier League nights and seemed off-form upon his return against Gerwyn Price. Despite Van Gerwen’s struggles, Sherrock expressed a lack of empathy, emphasizing the importance of pushing through difficulties.

Sherrock highlighted the physical challenges female players face, such as dealing with menstrual cramps, and stressed the necessity of still performing at their best despite personal discomfort. She emphasized the professional responsibility to deliver a strong performance on stage regardless of personal challenges.

Although Van Gerwen remains in third place in the Premier League standings despite his health issues, Luke Littler, following his second world title win at Ally Pally, has had a challenging start to the competition and currently sits seventh out of eight players before the upcoming matches in Cardiff.

Sherrock remains optimistic about Littler’s potential turnaround, believing he is strategizing and preparing to make a strong comeback in the later stages of the competition. She anticipates that Littler will surprise many with his performance and predicts his success in reaching the O2 in London.
