Josh Rock caused a shock at the Austrian Darts Open last weekend by beating Michael van Gerwen 7-0 in the semi-finals.
Rock is the first player since Kyle Anderson in 2016 to win over Van Gerwen at the Austrian Darts Open.
Van Gerwen incidentally won this tournament in 2013, 2017, 2019 and 2022.
The 22-year-old Northern Irishman is also only the third player to ever beat Van Gerwen at the Austrian Darts Open.

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026

- I definitely won't be watching this tripe. Picking fatty Bunting so he can mime and do those pathetic hand gestures in a desperate attempt to appease the crowd is completely criminal. This worthless goof and peoples chump is taking home £80000 from the competition Why not pick Justin Hood? A refreshing and very popular characterrichieburnettrocks05-01-2026

- Well,I won't be be watching the weekly tirade of this 'league!' It's honestly a waste of time,I'm fed up with writing it,but it's a weekly p**s up for fans,and a payday for 8 players and the pdc. Helps not 1 single other playerrick6705-01-2026
