The next Quarter-Final is confirmed at the 2022 European Darts Open and again it will be a Double Dutch duel as Michael van Gerwen will face Dirk van Duijvenbode in Leverkusen.

Van Gerwen was facing one of his main rivals, Jonny Clayton and like Daryl Gurney prior, he managed to get one over him as he looks for back-to-back titles.

'Mighty Mike' reeled off four consecutive legs from 4-2 down and seemingly on the brink of heading out to win 6-4 against Clayton as he produced when it mattered most. This also saw him finish with a 98 average and 60% on the doubles.

Last time they played, Van Duijvenbode succumbed with ease and he will hope for a better display this time.

Against Joe Cullen, he was nearly faultless as he continues his return to form with a 6-3 win. This saw him hit eight 180's and a 107 average to surge past 'The Rockstar'.
