Gary Anderson produced a stunning performance to come from 4-1 down against a player he mentors in the form of Michael Smith to win 10-6 with a 107 average. He sets up a clash with Mensur Suljovic tomorrow as a result and he spoke about the game as well as his clash with the brilliant Austrian.
"I was in trouble for a while there but I'd missed a couple of doubles and I could have been 3-2 up when I was 4-1 down," said Anderson.
"Michael was tremendous for those first four or five legs and he's something else when he gets going but then he wavers a little. If he'd kept it up he would probably have won 10-2 or something."
Anderson has lost his last three games against Suljovic, including September's Champions League of Darts final, but is aiming to end that run in Friday's quarter-final.
"He's a lovely lad and he deserves all the success he's having - but I hate playing him," added the number three seed. "He's a fantastic player but he's so hard to play against!"
