Mysteron_Voice: (Re: Wayne Mardle at 21:10) Twenty seven miles of cable? Where are the vans, Amsterdam?

It's walk-on time again - and the crowd seem to have got over their disappointment at MVG's early exit!

Michael Smith's choice of Shut Up and Dance is a hit with the Rotterdam fans again.

Smith will be aiming to back up his win over Luke Littler, while Gerwyn Price is hunting a first nightly win of 2024 after beating Rob Cross.

Quarter-finals done and dusted, here are the last four clashes ahead of us...

• Michael Smith v Gerwyn Price
• Nathan Aspinall v Luke Humphries

Christian Evans: Wright is a two-time world champion, why has he been so poor in this Premier League?

Wayne Mardle
Former World Championship semi-finalist on Sky Sports

I don't think any of them have been happy. Doors have to be left open and there's 27 miles of cable for the TV production. Everyone has mentioned the breeze but it's something you have to deal with in these big arenas. It's not nice because you lose control of your darts.

Apparently Michael van Gerwen was complaining about a breeze at Rotterdam Ahoy.

It's something that a few of the players have mentioned but they all have to deal with and it's not stopped a few players averaging in excess of 100...

Luke Humphries leads the Premier League table again.

He is level on points with Luke Littler, but has more night wins.

Superb performance from Luke Humphries to take him back to the top of the table on nights won.

He hit five 180s and averaged 100.34, compared to Michael van Gerwen's 96.64 and three maximums.

Neither player was brilliant on the doubles, Cool Hand hit six of 17, MVG four of 12.

Rotterdam Ahoy is silenced by Luke Humphries!

The world champion breaks with a 75 checkout to advance to the semi-finals.

Michael van Gerwen bows out early in front of a disappointed home crowd.

Now the crowd are up again!

A big error from Michael van Gerwen gives Luke Humphries a shot at 116 - but the world champ misses a dart at tops for the match.

MVG comes back and his dart at tops finds its mark. That's a break, he'll need another to win, though.
