The second round line-up is confirmed at the 2021 World Matchplay with Gary Anderson through after a comfortable 10-5 victory over Stephen Bunting.
A tricky tie on paper before the match, Bunting didn't perform to his recent form and Anderson coasted through in the end to set up a tie with Nathan Aspinall.
It was a slow start from the duo but Anderson led Bunting in the early going 3-2 and this increased to a 4-2 lead despite only averaging 85.
But as Anderson got better, Bunting stagnated and at the interval, Anderson's lead was soon 7-3 as he was running away with it as 'The Bullet' was only averaging 79.
He didn't hand it to Anderson though and despite an average of only 84, he took two further legs to make it interesting at 8-5. But Anderson was soon one away from the finishing line which he completed without a deal of fuss.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
