Both have a brilliant opportunity due to Van Gerwen’s shock defeat.
Anderson is seemingly heading towards the form he showed last year.
It was a 95 average with a 6-3 victory as ‘The Original’ states his intentions in Maastricht.
Finally his fellow Aussie, Simon Whitlock eased through with a 6-1 success despite averaging only 90.
’The Wizard’ went 5-0 up with Reyes at an average of 79, it only went up to 83 and he only claimed one leg.
