Since watching Benito play is a pure eyesore, I'd say one could miss that match...his style is soooo ugly

I'm getting tired of the Dutch forums and people writing how absolutely unbeatable Van Gerwen is....

 

Come on, he is the favourite, but it's just plain stupid to think Taylor, Van Barneveld, Lewis, Anderson or Wright wouldn't even have a chance..they've all shown more than once they can raise their games to the level needed to beat Van Gerwen while it's not even a given that Van Gerwen will always play brilliant.

 

I would love to see Jelle Klaasen vs Van Gerwen though...that'd be a real 'fight', probably without handshakes or eye contact and stuff

Well Reyes showed last night that anything is possible. Granted he played out of his mind, but he won't be the last one that raises his level to van Gerwens. I still think that RVB will once again beat him and show that he is the best dutch player the low country has ever seen.

Exactly! Anything is possible and if Reyes can raise his level like that, imagine the insanity the likes of Van Barneveld, Anderson and co could show.. 

 

About the best Dutch player ever...in terms of titles, Van Barneveld (but he didn't have to beat Taylor for most of his successes), in terms of pure level...definitely Van Gerwen, he has shown things nobody has ever shown, with maybe the exception of Taylor on his very best days

Hopp is still a little under 7000 points away from a finish..
