The draw has been released for the fifth round of the UK Open with some top ties on the way tomorrow afternoon at Butlins in Minehead.

Among them is Michael Smith against Rob Cross which will see a repeat of their World Matchplay clash and sees 'Bully Boy' who has been in brilliant form against 'Voltage' who has not been playing his best darts as of late face off.
Two players who have been playing well as of late are Ian White and Peter Wright and they will do battle in what will likely be one of the top games on the Main Stage tomorrow. White saw off Harry Ward earlier today while Wright came through in a thriller against Glen Durrant.
Michael van Gerwen came through a tough opener against Nathan Aspinall and he will face Jason Lowe who is a player who as he has shown does not get fazed which could help him against the World Number One. The latter saw off Adrian Lewis in a remarkable comeback 10-4.
'Rapid' Ricky Evans will also lock horns with 'The Iceman' Gerwyn Price in another tie to look forward to, as is the in-form Dirk van Duijvenbode who will face off against Mensur Suljovic as he looks to continue his run.
Other ties include Gary Anderson against Simon Stevenson, Chris Dobey versus Simon Whitlock and Kim Huybrechts facing James Wade as the action continues tomorrow afternoon.
