Schedule and preview Saturday evening session 2022 Austrian Darts Open including Van Gerwen-Menzies and Wright-Rydz

Saturday night sees more seeded players come into proceedings at the 2022 Austrian Darts Open after an afternoon which saw many head out.

Starting off proceedings is in-form James Wade fresh off adding Dublin to his title tally in Premier League Darts. He faces Brett Claydon.

Following that is the most recent winner on the European Tour in potentially the tie of the session as Luke Humphries takes on rising Dutch talent and ranking winner, Danny Jansen.

The home crowd will cheer on Rowby-John Rodriguez third game up as he aims to join Michael Unterbuchner in the final day in Graz. He takes on Dirk van Duijvenbode.

Before three more of the top four in the Premier League come into action, starting with Michael van Gerwen in the standout tie as he faces Cameron Menzies. Last time they met on the ProTour, it was the Scot who came out on top but can he repeat the feat.

Premier League leader Jonny Clayton faces a resurgent Jeffrey de Zwaan following that before Peter Wright faces a potentially tricky tie in Callan Rydz.

Ending the session is another tough tie for a seed as Rob Cross faces Josh Rock who was superb against Devon Petersen and continues to show his promise. Before Ross Smith takes on Stephen Bunting to end the session.
