Results second round Players Championship 5: Van Gerwen takes revenge on De Zwaan
PDCSaturday, 17 March 2018 at 15:30
Michael van Gerwen avenged his defeat to Jeffrey de Zwaan at the UK Open by defeating his fellow countryman 6-3 in the second round of Players Championship 5.
The two-time world champion averaged 'just' 94, but it was enough to reach the last 32. Making the third round was something Peter Wright failed to do, as 'Snakebite' was defeated 6-1 by Brendan Dolan. Wright's fellow Premier League participants Daryl Gurney and Simon Whitlock were also knocked out.
Gary Anderson continued his display of strong form with a whitewash of Davy van Baelen and an average of 105. Meanwhile, Terry Jenkins came out on top in a battle between two veterans as he took on John Part. Among the other players to progress are Dave Chisnall, Mensur Suljovic, James Wade and Adrian Lewis.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
