Session One - 12.45pm
Luke Humphries vs Damon Heta
Humphries is aiming to get back on track having lost before the Final in each of the two World Series events and kicked-off his title bid with a 3-1 success against 2022 Masters champion Joe Cullen. The World No.1 dismantled Josh Rock in the quarter-finals. Heta booked his place in the second round with a 3-1 victory over Ross Smith punishing 17 missed darts at double from the former European Champion to enjoy a winning start to 2025 and the Aussie backed up that success with a thrilling last-leg triumph over Gerwyn Price.
Stephen Bunting vs Danny Noppert
Bunting has started the season in flying form and just failed to go back-to-back in the World Series when losing the Final in Den Bosch to Cross. He overturned a two-set deficit to edge out William Borland on a dramatic opening night one and dumped a second Scot in Peter Wright on Saturday. Noppert has been solid and strong through the tournament, having started with a victory over Michael Smith. The 2022 UK Open champion punished a profligate display from the 2023 World Champion to prevail and was ruthless in his last-eight destruction of William O’Connor.
Luke Littler vs Jonny Clayton
World Champion Luke Littler has failed to make the Final in each of his two World Series appearances since lifting the world crown, but has his eyes on this ranking title. He breezed past Belgium’s Andy Baetens in under 11 minutes of play to make a winning start in Milton Keynes and followed that up with a brutal destruction of James Wade. Clayton produced a breathtaking display to move through to the second round on Friday evening beating Martin Schindler and then displayed a gritty side with his sterling fightback to see-off Ryan Searle in the last eight. He dug deep from 3-1 down to level the match and then held his nerve twice with the last dart in hand in the final set to get over the line.
Dimitri Van van Bergh vs Nathan Aspinall
Van den Bergh, the reigning UK Open champion, has shown flashes of his best in recent times and reeled off six consecutive legs to account for two-time World Champion Gary Anderson in Friday’s finale. That was nothing compared to the magic displayed in his nine-darter win over Michael van Gerwen. Aspinall has fought back from struggles to earn his places back in both the Premier League and World Series and also had a strong run at the Worlds. He won through a high-quality affair against Andrew Gilding, averaging 103 and landing six of his eight attempts at double to prevail in a battle of the former UK Open champions and won a scrappy Saturday clash over Cameron Menzies.
Session Two - 7pm
Semi-Finals - Best of nine sets, best of three legs per set
Final - approx 9pm. Best of 11 sets, best of three legs per set
