- Words exchanged with Dimitri Van den Bergh during 6-0 win
- Michael Smith beats Gabriel Clemens 6-2 to reach third final
Michael van Gerwen produced a ruthless display to thrash Belgium’s Dimitri Van den Bergh 6-0 and set up a PDC world championship final showdown with Michael Smith.
The three-times former champion won 18 of 22 legs in an occasionally spiky but ultimately one-sided semi-final and will face Smith in a rerun of the 2019 final, when the Dutchman won 7-3. The winner on Tuesday night at Alexandra Palace will also replace Gerwyn Price as the No 1 player in the world rankings.
