Interwetten European Darts Open: Michael van Gerwen through to finals day
Michael van Gerwen swept past Daryl Gurney to remain on course for a fifth Interwetten European Darts Open title - but Peter Wright suffered a shock defeat to Scott Williams.
'Mighty Mike'ย produced a stunning 113.79 average - and missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish - when sealing a 6-3 win.
That felt phenomenal this evening, my practice was brilliant and so was the match. Daryl pushed me as always, and no Iโm not singing ๐. Now to rest so Iโm fresh and ready for tomorrow. Leverkusen you were rocking tonight ๐๐ pic.twitter.com/AuvpbT7wGA
