2022 Dutch Darts Championship Results, Schedule, Venue, Draw, and Fixtures
Despite a magnificent 170 checkout from the former Lakeside champion in the first exchanges, the world number three Michael van Gerwen lifted the roof with an imperious showing at the IJsselhallen, averaging 104.67 and firing in six 180s to continue his fantastic record versus Klaasen.
After a 6-1 win over a below-par Brendan Dolan earlier in the day, Van Gerwen will face Callan Rydz for a spot in the last eight. In a dramatic double-session, however, Gerwyn Price was one of nine seeded stars to lose, with Mervyn King edging out the top seed in a last-leg shoot-out. After a disappointing Premier League season, world number one Peter Wright bounced back with a 6-3 victory over Jermaine Wattimena.
Dirk van Duijvenbode was the third Dutchman to advance to Sunday’s third round, defeating Mickey Mansell to set up a match against Dave Chisnall, who defeated Jose De Sousa 6-3 with a 105.89 average. Michael Smith, Chisnall’s St Helens rival, put in a similarly impressive performance, average 105.79 and landing six 180s to put an end to Danny Jansen’s ambitions.
