"We played a couple of weeks ago and I was 3-1 up before he came back to win, and I know I can out-score him so it's just about when it comes down to the finishes, and if my doubles go in then I can walk away the winner." Van Gerwen, though, won the UK Open Qualifier on Saturday - his third ProTour triumph of the year so far - and has picked up three victories and two draws from his opening six Premier League games during a brilliant start to his debut season. "I've put myself in a good position because I'm on eight points and the pressure is on Gary this week, not me," said van Gerwen. "I want to win every game though and keep this going. "I think I can do even better and I'll be working hard to do better, but I'm doing well at the moment and I'll be ready for Gary."
