Michael van Gerwen is through to the Quarter-Finals at the Melbourne Darts Masters but faces a tough test up next with the World Number One set to face Gary Anderson.
Van Gerwen saw off Tim Pusey earlier in the first round and said that he cannot afford to make mistakes against 'The Flying Scotsman'.
He admitted that he has not played his best but that he is just wanting to give himself chances and that he wants to now focus on facing Anderson.
“Gary and I always have great games and I can’t afford to make any mistakes against him.
“I have not played my best but I just have to keep giving myself chances and doing the right things at the right moments.
“I am happy to get the win today but now I have to focus on playing Gary.”

- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
