Michael van Gerwen has left no stone unturned against his opponent Chris Dobey in the quarterfinals of the World Darts Championship. In less than 35 minutes it became 5-0 for the Vlijmenaar. With this convincing victory, Van Gerwen qualifies for the semi-finals. The Belgian Dimitri van den Bergh is the opponent in this.
Van Gerwen and Dobey were supposed to compete against each other in the third round of the World Cup last year, but the Dutchman tested positive for the corona virus shortly before. As a result, he had to leave the tournament in London. Dobey defeated Van Gerwen in the first round of the European Championship at the end of October.
Double 5
‘Mighty Mike’ set the tone in Alexandra Palace by starting the match with 180. In no time he had won the first set and after a short break also the second set that Dobey had started.
Dobey, who had eliminated Gary Anderson and Rob Cross after the victory over Martijn Kleermaker, then dropped even further and had no chance against the high level of Van Gerwen, who won ten legs in a row. Dobey won another leg in the fifth set, but then Van Gerwen finished it off with double 5.
