Michael van Gerwen on Sunday afternoon failed to force an all-Dutch semi-final against Dirk van Duijvenbode at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.
The three-time world champion held a 6-4 lead against Jonny Clayton, but eventually lost 10-7 to the defending champion at the AFAS Live. So that means Clayton will be Van Duijvenbode's opponent in the last four on Sunday night.
''Very disappointing,'' Van Gerwen bemoaned to Viaplay afterwards. ''This is not the most important tournament, but in front of your own crowd you want to show something.''
According to the Dutchman, Clayton's 121 finish immediately after the break for 6-5 was the turning point in the match. ''That 121 finish hurt me a lot. Right on the chin? Yes, and hard too. He's not in fantastic form and I'm on the way back, but then you have to punish that.''

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
