Michael van Gerwen has qualified for the quarter-finals at the International Darts Open with a resounding victory. Sunday night a duel with Peter Wright in the last eight awaits.
Van Gerwen never gave opponent Jose de Sousa a chance. With a 132 finish and an 11-darter, Van Gerwen quickly took a 4-0 lead. A 14-darter later made it 5-1, before 'Mighty Mike' decided the game early on with his worst leg of the match (20-darter).
It was clear beforehand that Van Gerwen would face a Scottish opponent in his next match. This opponent came from the duel between Wright and Alan Soutar.
'Snakebite' broke ahead in the fifth leg with a 76 finish. Soutar broke back immediately and then hit a 76 to lead 4-3. Wright then struggled to hold with a 100 check-out. The two-time world champion then took advantage of four misses by Soutar on the doubles. Wright found the double and needed only one more leg to win. Then the Scot finished it off with a 15-darter.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
