Vincent van der Voort 'happy' to dodge MVG in round 2 at Ally Pally despite falling out of top 32

Vincent van der Voort was displaced from top-32 of the world ranking at the Players Championship finalist Jonny Clayton replaced him, making 'Fast Vinnie' for the first time in his career no seeded status at the World Championship Darts.
As a result, the 'Dutch Destroyer' would be directly linked to a player who did obtain a placement in the first round through the seeding for the PDC World Darts Championship. The draw revealed Monday that Dave Chisnall will be the upcoming opponent of Van der Voort in the opening round of the World Championship Darts.
A heavy draw on paper, because 'Chizzy' is the number eight of the world rankings. Yet 'The Dutch Destroyer' sees opportunities against the 37-year-old Englishman, he said in a reaction to the draw against RTL7darts.
"Chisnall is not currently in his best period, he is out of shape. So I immediately have the chance to beat a high-ranking player and take over his schedule. But let me suggest that I have to play well first and win. "
"I'm not in the top 32 for the first time and that means that I've gone backwards. But if I had been placed 32nd, I would have had to face Michael van Gerwen in the second round. That is also far from ideal so actually I am happy with the draw, because from the World Cup I can try to use the road up again. "
