Great darts from van Gerwin, two 180's in the crucial last leg. Great bottle.
Next up Whitlock v Beaton, could be equally as good a game, Beaton is a very steady player. Fancy Whitlock to come through it though the way he played in the first round and the determination he has to do well here (aswell as the motivation of defending a huge sum of money from 2010, would hurt his ranking a lot if he doesn't do well here).
Whitlock vs. van Gerwin in the last 16 could be a high scoring encounter. Wonder how Whitlock's ankle would hold up with the pace van Gerwin plays at, wouldn't get much rest time.
