Price v Searle and Van Gerwen v Nijman set for semi-finals at Players Championship 27

The semi-finals are set at Players Championship 27 with Gerwyn Price set to face Ryan Searle. While Michael van Gerwen faces Wessel Nijman shortly.

Price has said for a while that his time is coming albeit with very minimal evidence of that being the case. But he has shown today that perhaps it is. He thrashed Damon Heta 6-1 with a 101 average.

He now faces Ryan Searle who breezed past Keane Barry 6-1 with a 106 average to continue his terrific day. Van Gerwen found it more difficult. Jonny Clayton should've won going 5-3 up but failed to take his chances and Van Gerwen picked his pocket, it is what champions do and could be a catalyst today.

While Wessel Nijman saw off Stephen Bunting as he did last week in the Players Championship final. He did so with a heroic 147 checkout to claim it in the decider. He now faces the greatest Dutchman of modern times for a spot in another final.
