The UK Open is due to take place this weekend with a return to Minehead and Michael van Gerwen will aim to add his first major since 2020 Players Championship Finals in familiar surroundings.
DartsNews looks back at some of the best moments and matches from over the years in this tournament and one of the best came from Van Gerwen back in 2016.
Rob Cross' emergence came in this tournament back in 2016 but he met a Van Gerwen towards the peak of his powers.
He hit a 170 checkout followed by a nine-darter followed by another 170 in one of the finest displays.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
