Michael van Gerwen has very convincingly advanced to the last four at the Austrian Darts Open. In the quarter-finals, Ryan Seare was beaten 6-1.

Van Gerwen looked set for a tough match when Searle beat him in the first leg, but he recovered the deficit at lightning speed. A 12-darter made it 1-1 before Van Gerwen ran out to a 3-1 lead with a 13-darter and another 12-darter.

Searle missed two chances for 3-2 before Van Gerwen made it 4-1 via double 8. Then 'Mighty Mike' took the win with a 14-darter and a 71 finish.

Josh Rock will be Van Gerwen's opponent in the semi-final match. The Northern Irishman triumphed 6-4 against Austrian crowd favourite Mensur Suljovic in the last eight.

It is a maiden European Tour semi-final for Rock, who had a memorable battle with MVG at the Grand Slam of Darts which will take top billing in the semi-finals.
