Draw released for World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam: Number one seed Van Gerwen set to face Price or Smith

Michael van Gerwen will take on either Michael Smith or Gerwyn Price in the second round with the number one seed facing off against unseeded opposition due to them getting their place through the Order of Merit.

For Smith he can get potentially quick revenge on Price for him defeating him in the European Championship semi-finals which took place only ten minutes prior to the draw.

Defending champion James Wade will aim to bounce back from his European Championship disappointment as he faces either Wayne Jones or Jonny Clayton.

Daryl Gurney also faces a tough draw in Krzysztof Ratajski or Nathan Aspinall. Peter Wright will face Ricky Evans or Ian White.

Gary Anderson makes his return to action after missing the European Championship and he will take on Danny Noppert or Jeffrey de Zwaan with the all-Dutch affair likely to get the crowd going on Friday night.

Speaking of Dutch players, Raymond van Barneveld will make his final competitive appearance in his home country; he takes on either compatriot Jermaine Wattimena or German Darts Masters finalist Gabriel Clemens.
