    Cross was incredibly stubborn on D16 even though he was a mile away every time. It was so bizarre to see.
  • The semis are set!!! I am excited for the the Mvg vs Smith match, I am sure that game will be a classic!!!
  • Cross went from averaging 106 to playing probably the worst darts of his life!!! (He couldn’t even hit a D16 in that match for christ sake!!!)
  • Aw well.All credit to Goldfinger for putting the frightners,for a wee while anyway,on MVG 😧

    No one can ever take Mighty Mike's game for granite. After all he's the original Luke Littler in a sense. Look how dominant young Michael Van Gerwin used to be. Probably even more so than Luke Littler is now. As much as i enjoy watching Luke I was a huge fan of Van Gerwin first.
  • Wonder how much the length of the match affects the players who are not used to it?
  • Never ever write Michael Van Gerwen off! I'm not referring to this match specifically but how many times has he thrown a worse average and won? It's maths, it shouldn't work that way, however, he has an inner demon that knows how to find 3 more gears! Assuming he gets in front, he usually stays there, though it does take time (contrary to what most commentators say) for him to warm up. I wonder if the long format of the game affected Gilding? Michael was playing crazily in those first few legs, love his action! I'm sure he played double speed in those first 5 legs. It's almost like the faster he gets, the more you can feel his confidence oozing, and truly believe that every double is gonna go when he's in that mood! Glad to see he didn't taper off towards the end, as he so frequently does. Relaxed - as the commentators said, was exactly the right word, which is what I think Rob Cross became once his fate had been decided for him.
