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.
It was also the first comprehensive win for MVG over this weekend after Jose de Sousa and Martin Schindler troubled him.
But Rock next up continues to be rampant and eased past Michael Smith, the current World Number One and World Champion in a 6-1 win himself.
It is a second semi-final in the last three European Tours for 'Rocky' who seems to be finding his 2022 form again after a poor start to the season.
In seeing off Smith, he produced a 95 average and three 180's despite missing 13 darts at double but Smith hit only 1/9.

- 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
