World Darts Championship: Phil Taylor taunts Michael van Gerwen AGAIN after reaching final
PHIL TAYLOR has aimed a dig at Michael van Gerwen after reaching the World Darts Championship final.
GETTY
Taylor is in touching distance of his 17th world title.
The Englishman swatted aside Jamie Lewis 6-1 in the evening’s first semi-final tonight.
Taylor, who beat Van Gerwen in the 2013 final, could face the Dutchman again should the Green Machine prevail against Rob Cross.
Van Gerwen beat Raymond van Barneveld 5-4 in the quarter-finals last night.
But Taylor has revealed he was ‘lucky’ and admitted he would rather face Van Barneveld or Adrian Lewis in the final if given the chance.
I think Michael [Van Gerwen] was a bit fortunate. I thought Van Barneveld had him
He said: “I think Michael [Van Gerwen] was a bit fortunate.
“I thought Van Barneveld had him.
“If it was two players - it would be Van Barneveld or Lewis.

“Barney was unlucky not to get to final - I think he could have won four or perhaps 5-1.
“You know what MVG is like - he’s going to try and steamroll me.
“Cross will give him a run for his money.”
