Thursday at the World Grand Prix

Michael van Gerwen will be aiming to follow up his convincing victory over Josh Rock when he takes on ‘Hollywood’ Chris Dobey on Thursday

Luke Humphries opens the night when he takes on Luke Woodhouse before 2018 runner-up Peter Wright tackles Ryan Searle.

Michal van Gerwen, who lifted the World Grand Prix title for a sixth time in 2022, faces Chris Dobey.

The pair met in the quarter-final stage of 2022 event, with Van Gerwen recording a 3-1 success and he is feeling confident that he cannot be stopped as he hunts a record seventh World Grand Prix title

“It’s not going to happen,” joked Van Gerwen. “The format gets longer and longer after tonight and that won’t do [my opponent] any favours.

“You are going to have a tough opponent in the next game, but I just need to believe in my ability which is what I am doing at the moment and that is maybe why I am playing so well.”

European Champion Ross Smith goes up against Joe Cullen in the final match of the night.
