Tie of the third round looks to be Price v Van Barneveld. Barney has been in decent form recently so hopefully can produce some of that in this stand out match to be played on Tuesday.

Rising star Josh Rock has claimed a notable scalp by defeating Nathan Aspinall 4-3 in the third round. This sets up a clash against Jonny Clayton.

The Defending World Champion Peter Wright is out losing 4-1 to Kim Huybrechts , this isn't a shock to me because he has been poor all year but still the Defending World Champion is out

I actually got to watch most of this for once. Rock looked dead n gone at one point so it's astonishing he rallied and won.

Michael van Gerwen saw off a resolute Mensur Suljovic 4-2 in a high quality match to reach the last sixteen. Michael Smith had to fight hard to see off Martin Schindler in a deciding set.
Meanwhile Gary Anderson slumped to a 4-1 defeat against Chris Dobey.

MVG laid up because he thought his opponent wouldn't hot 161 but he did to get it back to 3-2 before MVG won the 6th set

What a standard of match between Dave Chiisnall and Stephen Bunting

Clayton beat Rock; Rob Cross beat aged perennial Mervyn King.

Quarter Finals - 1st January 2023

Afternoon Session (12.30pm-4.30pm)
Dimitri van den Bergh v Jonny Clayton
Michael Smith v Stephen Bunting

Evening Session (7.30pm-11pm)
Gerwyn Price v Gabriel Clemens
Michael van Gerwen v Chris Dobey

Former World Champion Gerwyn Price is shockingly out losing to Gabriel Clemens 5-1 , mind you Clemens did play really well in that game.

Also if you haven't seen it watch the game from the 4th set Price come out from the break wearing headphones i have never seen anything like it before in darts.
