Michael van Gerwen and Dave Chisnall to do battle for Pro Tour glory at Players Championship 21

Dave Chisnall and Michael van Gerwen have advanced to the final of the 21st Players Championship tournament of the season this Wednesday. Later in the evening, they will compete for the title in Wigan.

For Van Gerwen it will be his first Players Championship final since March 2023. The 35-year-old from Vlijmen took the title back then by beating Josh Rock 8-4 in the final. Against Chisnall, 'Mighty Mike' therefore gets the chance to add another Players Championship title to his record.

Van Gerwen hasn't really been in trouble all day. He made it to the last four after wins over Lee Cocks (6-4), Ryan Meikle (6-2), Karel Sedlacek (6-3), James Wade (6-3) and Gian van Veen (6-3). In the semifinals, Van Gerwen won 7-2 over compatriot Maik Kuivenhoven.

At the other end of the draw, Chisnall qualified for the semifinals by beating Jose de Sousa (6-1), Lee Evans (6-5), Jeffrey de Zwaan (6-3), Jonny Clayton (6-1) and Stephen Bunting (6-2).

Against Ritchie Edhouse, Chisnall looked to be heading for a big win in the semifinals. After falling behind 1-2, "Chizzy" won five legs in a row to lead 6-2. Edhouse came back to 6-6 thanks to two 12 darts and even had a handful of match darts in the last leg, but could not capitalize. Chisnall then qualified for the final with a 16-darter.
