Michael van Gerwen goes back at Peter Wright again after claim darts star ‘won’t admit'Michael van Gerwen fought back to win his first-round match at the World Darts Championship on Thursday with Peter Wright suggesting his eyesight might be failingView 3 Images Michael van Gerwen has hit back at Peter Wright (Image: (Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images))Michael van Gerwen has hit back at Peter Wright after he made a rather bizarre claim that his vision might be deteriorating. ‌Such a reply was required by Van Gerwen after Wright had revealed, likely in jest, that Van Gerwen likely had bad eyesight in comparison to younger darts stars and if that was the case, he would not admit it. Upon learning of Wright's comments, Van Gerwen replied: "There's nothing wrong with my eyes. ‌"Years ago, I used to play Michael van Gerwen at his peak, he was like the GOAT. To speak the name of Peter Wright is a waste of my breath."
