There's a healthy mix of seeds and non-seeds on the final day of the Dutch Darts Masters.

Two unseeded players kick off the action in Zwolle for the 3rd round of the PDC Dutch Darts Masters. Steve Lennon skipped the second round thanks to Rob Cross' absence. But the Irish ace will need to beat James Richardson, who downed John Henderson on Saturday, to reach the quarter-finals. Then the man who finished eighth in the Premier League takes on the one who finished ninth. Simon Whitlock disappointed the Dutch crowd by beating Jan Dekker, and his reward is a meeting with Mensur Suljovic. If the Dutch Darts Masters is to have a homegrown champion that isn't Michael van Gerwen, it'll have to be Jermaine Wattimena. The quick-firing Westervoort man meets former champion Kim Huybrechts in round three.
Peter Wright didn't put on a vintage display against James Wilson, but still has high hopes for success in the Netherlands. His Sunday afternoon opponent is Austrian Darts Open finalist Gerwyn Price, who survived a match dart against Dragutin Horvat last time out. Stephen Bunting didn't even come close to a scare in his match. The Bullet shot past Michael Smith in a whitewash, meaning he's a real dark horse. Krzysztof Ratajski might be an outside pick, but a 6-2 win over Jelle Klaasen was a reminder of the Pole's quality.
Daryl Gurney takes to the stage for the sixth match of the afternoon, with Mervyn King standing between Superchin and a spot in the last eight. Then, following a breakthrough win over Dave Chisnall, Cameron Menzies hopes to keep the good times going as he takes on the impressive Kyle Anderson. All eyes are on four-time back-to-back defending champion van Gerwen. But all his fans and critics will have to wait until the end of the afternoon to see if he can continue his barnstorming form. Darren Webster's a diminutive man, but beating him is no small feat.
The afternoon's play begins at 12pm, and every game is live on PDC TV.
