VAN GERWEN WINS! A shake of the head from Van Gerwen but he seals his spot in the quarter-finals after a hard-fought 10-7 victory over Jeffrey De Zwaan and the hunt for a sixth Players Championship Finals trophy is still on!

The Quarter-Final line-up is confirmed at the Players Championship Finals with a Double Dutch end to proceedings with Michael van Gerwen and Dirk van Duijvenbode through.
Van Gerwen marched past his compatriot Jeffrey de Zwaan in a 10-7 win which saw a match that went back and forth at times.
MVG surged into a 6-3 lead after De Zwaan had made it 4-3 with a 142 checkout. But the former was well on his way at 7-3 as he headed into the interval.
The procession continued when the interval finished as he made it 8-3. But De Zwaan broke to make it 8-5 after an off leg from Van Gerwen.
He applied further pressure at 8-6 but Van Gerwen restored normal service making it 9-6 from there but he missed a match dart with De Zwaan saving his skin. He didn't miss next time round and despite not being pleased with his display, Mighty Mike is through.
As is Van Duijvenbode who continues his brilliant year into the Quarter-Finals with a 10-1 victory over Luke Woodhouse averaging 99.1, will it be another landmark weekend for the Aubergenius?

- 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
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
