THE PREDICTION
Michael van Gerwen has not had things his own way in the last two big TV ranking tournaments with early exits at the UK Open and World Matchplay, and a tough draw against the dangerous Jamie Hughes will be a big test for the number one seed. With this being the first appearance in this unique double start format it is hard to tell how quickly Hughes will settle, but he has the quality to push the Dutchman all the way and a hard-fought win for MVG in three sets is the prediction.
