Michael van Gerwen will face Josh Rock in a repeat of their tie at the Austrian Darts Open in Graz which saw the latter deal out a humiliating whitewash for 'The Green Machine'.

Van Gerwen will be out for revenge after seeing off his old rival, Gary Anderson 6-1 who after a good weekend suffered a somewhat underwhelming ending.
Anderson could not trouble Van Gerwen who failed to get out of second gear throughout the tie, but there was no need to with just an 81 average for Anderson.
Van Gerwen concluded it with a 156 checkout giving a blockbuster ending with a 101 average, four 180s, and 46.2% on the doubles.
