The conclusion of the Nordic Darts Masters is set for Saturday evening in Copenhagen with the first World Series winner of the year set to be crowned.
Four names remain and only one will walk out winner as the format extends to best of 21 legs.
With only three matches, the afternoon session was truncated with Fallon Sherrock receiving a bye following the withdrawal of Gerwyn Price due to an elbow injury after he saw off Daniel Larsson on Friday night.
This could be a help or a hinderence for 'The Queen of the Palace' who now has to face off against Dimitri van den Bergh in the semi-finals.
As per Dan Dawson, they met back in 2013 when Van den Bergh was making strides in the game at the British Teenage Open with 'The Dreammaker' coming out on top in the semi-finals over Sherrock before winning the title.
Following that, he signed with Mac Elkin and his success has followed so it will now come full circle in front of 4,500 fans in Copenhagen this evening.
It is a full World Series debut for Sherrock who will aim to make it count against Van den Bergh who has not been at his best against Johan Engstrom or Gary Anderson thus far despite winning through.

The winner will face Jonny Clayton v Michael van Gerwen in a quality semi-final clash between the former who has become one of the best players in the world during a period which has seen MVG's downturn.
No title in 2021 has gone the way of Van Gerwen yet while Clayton has claimed two ProTours and both the Masters and Premier League.
He has also been a thorn in the side of Michael van Gerwen at every point with both The Masters and Premier League seeing him defeat the Green Machine en route.
The Dutchman has paid tribute to the crowd throughout as he survived a scare against Darius Labanauskas and saw off Madars Razma with ease.
But to get through to the final, it could be a defining game as he will have to get through his toughest test yet against a true darting force who has been super impressive this weekend. The winner could come from this game.
