Michael van Gerwen whitewashed Peter Wright to win in Exeter

Wright dismantled Gerwyn Price 6-2 in a showdown of the two best players in the world to reach the semi-finals.

Price defeated Wright in a high-quality European Tour final last weekend to keep his place as world No 1, but ‘Snakebite’ averaged 101 as he rattled off five legs in succession to defeat the Welshman in the highly-anticipated clash of the giants.

The Scot then eased past James Wade to reach his second final since the change of format.

World Championship finalist Smith got off the mark with his first win in the competition, edging Joe Cullen 6-5 in a thrilling encounter, while Wade punished Gary Anderson 6-4 in the other quarter-final.
