There is going to be some world-class darts tonight. Is it going to be Michael van Gerwen? Gian van Veen throws world class every day, Luke Humphries is world class.

Van Gerwen has something to prove for me. Now Gary Anderson is through, I wonder if he'll try and lay down a bit of a marker tonight.

Former winner Rob Cross cruised through at the PDC World Championship and set up a last-16 tie against defending champion Luke Littler.

Cross, who won the event in 2018, brushed aside Australian and 16th seed Damon Heta in a comfortable 4-0 win.

The 17th seed was joined in round four by two-time winner Gary Anderson, who edged a final-set thriller against Dutchman Gary Wattimena.

Anderson averaged 102.24 - the eighth-highest average in this year's tournament - and was at 37.5% on the checkouts.

Sunday's action began with 20th seed Ryan Searle reaching the fourth round for the first time since 2021 with a 4-0 demolition of Germany's Martin Schindler.

Gary Anderson averaged 102.24 in that match - the eighth best of the tournament so far.

And he still got taken all the way.

Two-time world champion Gary Anderson, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's no good for my age. It's hard, especially with Jermaine on you. What a game.

"The last two games, 4-0, 4-0. I hope that's made up for it. I'm going to lie down now.

"I bottled the nine-darter, like I bottled a lot of doubles. I was getting excited, I don't often do that up there. But I got it done."

On whether he can become a three-time world champion this year: "Next year!"

Jermaine Wattimena lifts Gary Anderson's arm aloft, as the crowd roar both men. A hug shared on the stage.

When Anderson was throwing for that nine-darter, Wattimena was gesturing to the crowd to quieten and let him concentrate.

Such respect between the two men, in an absolute classic.

INTO THE TOPS!
