Michael Smith crushed Rob Cross, who struggled with double trouble, to set up a blockbuster World Matchplay semi-final against Michael van Gerwen.
Van Gerwen and Smith will lock horns, after overcoming Andrew Gilding and Rob Cross in their respective quarter-final clashes on Friday. The Dutch superstar defied an insipid start to topple Gilding 16-10 in the evening's opener, before Smith swept aside an off-colour Cross to advance to a third Blackpool semi-final.
' MVG forced to overcome boredom Van Gerwen was embroiled in a real scrap against Gilding in the opening exchanges, in the pair's first televised showdown since Gilding stunned the Dutchman to win last year's UK Open. However, the three-time champion delivered the goods in the second half of the contest, winning ten of the last 12 legs to progress to a seventh World Matchplay semi-final.
