With an 11-darter in the third leg of the second set he broke Veenstra, after which he won the set 3-1 with his third 11-darter of the match. Mighty Mike's average in the second set was 116.6, the second highest set average of this tournament.
In the third set, Veenstra countered a bit more. He missed a chance on tops to break Van Gerwen, but then got to 1-1 via a 60 check-out. Moments later it was 2-2 after a fine 12-darter from 'Flyers'. But in the deciding leg Veenstra did not pressure 'Mighty Mike'. After fifteen scoring darts he was only 184, and so Van Gerwen could also add the third set with a 16-darter.
In the fourth set Veenstra was out of the game. Van Gerwen broke him right away with a 14-darter, reached 2-0 via double 10 and then finished the job with a superb 130 finish. Van Gerwen will find out Thursday afternoon who his opponent will be in the next round of the World Darts Championship. He will meet the winner of the duel between Stephen Bunting and Florian Hempel.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
