That is a bazooka of a start from Jonny Clayton.

That's an excellent way to kick off the final!

Michael can't play like he did in the semi-final, he knows that, because Jonny is playing some solid stuff.

Right then, it is nearly time for the final. Who will come out on top?

Jonny Clayton has looked really on point tonight, especially when it comes to the finishing.

It wasn't even that Stephen was truly in control but Michael looked off for a while.

He's worked very hard, though, not allowed himself to be despondent and now he's in a final.

There were times there when Stephen Bunting looked to be in control and seemed to be playing better.

But you have to give credit to Michael van Gerwen because he found the finishes at the right time.

So then, the final is confirmed:

• Jonny Clayton v Michael van Gerwen

That's right, it definitely was not a classic.

He averaged less than Stephen Bunting, 90.92 to 93.11 and was marginally worse on doubles (37.5% to 38.46%), but managed to grind out a win.
