Michael van Gerwen failed to take the day's victory at Players Championship 24 on Friday. After a strong tournament, he lost in the last eight against Ryan Joyce.
The three-time world champion had impressed in his two previous matches against Pascal Rupprecht and Chris Dobey with averages of 112 and 111. Against Dobey, Van Gerwen had also thrown a nine darter. Against Joyce, the Dutchman took an 0-2 lead, but the next four legs went to the Englishman. Joyce eventually won the match 6-3.
Joyce will play in the semifinals against Jonny Clayton, who was 6-1 too strong for Damon Heta. In the other semifinal, Gary Anderson and Stephen Bunting will face each other. They won over Martin Lukeman (6-5) and Daryl Gurney (6-3), respectively.

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
