"He's playing very well so it should be a great game!" - Dave Chisnall looking forward to Masters clash with Michael van Gerwen

Dave Chisnall did not have it all his own way against Danny Noppert in the last sixteen of the Masters on Saturday. Still, the 43-year-old Englishman eventually won through, 10-8.

Chisnall averaged over 109 in the first round, but was slightly lower at 97.59 against Noppert. "You're not going to get two games like that back to back," the two-time Masters finalist assesses honestly in his post-match press conference.

Playing in the afternoon, straight after the night before also ensured difficulties for 'Chizzy'. "I got up at 8 am this morning. I'm tired. Give me nighttime games all the time," he explains. "Just got to go to bed early now, be sensible, get some sleep and it could be a long tomorrow (Sunday ed.). At least, that's my goal."

Chisnall will take on Michael van Gerwen in the quarterfinals on Sunday afternoon. "I don't care who I play. Michael has had a great year, he's playing very well so it should be a great game!"
