Van Gerwen loss means no Dutchman in World Matchplay Quarter-Finals since 2005

Michael van Gerwen losing to Glen Durrant means that for the first time since 2005 there is no Dutchman in the World Matchplay Quarter-Finals.
Van Gerwen, De Zwaan and Noppert were the players who went out early doors in the competition with no Raymond van Barneveld involved of course.
In 2005, Colin Lloyd won the competition and was a first-time winner, could we get a new winner once again this year?
The odds are stacked in that favour with only James Wade left in the tournament who has previously won at the Winter Gardens.

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
