Gian van Veen has been one of the stories of the 2026 World Darts Championship and will be full of confidence after defeating second seed Luke Humphries. His start to the tournament was slow, but the Dutchman has since found his rhythm, averaging a huge 105.41 to defeat the 2023 champion last night.
The crowd will likely be on Van Veen’s side for this one, hoping he can set up a final with Luke Littler. The pair were head-to-head rivals on the junior tour back in 2023, and a final between the two would be an incredible outcome. Anderson, however, will be keen to crush those dreams, and his experience could prove crucial over a best-of-11-sets contest.
