Michael van Gerwen wants to emulate snooker legend and 'big friend' Ronnie O’Sullivan. On Monday ‘The Rocket’ captured his seventh world championship, equalling Stephen Henry’s haul.
The Dutchman has admitted he has been inspired by his achievements and would love to match that championship tally in his own sport of darts. “I get a lot of inspiration from my big friend Ronnie O'Sullivan, so he did well and I finally managed to do well too,” Van Gerwen told Sky Sports .
“It gives me big motivation. He's been doing it for so many years and of course I want to do it for a long time as well. It takes a lot of doing, but when you're able and your head is right, you definitely can do it.
