Antrim's Rock advances at Swiss Darts Trophy, MVG out

Josh Rock advanced at the Swiss Darts Trophy as fifth seed Michael van Gerwen suffered a second-round exit after losing 6-4 to Mensur Suljovic in Basel. Antrim's Rock edged out Dave Chisnall 6-5 to seal his passage, where van Gerwen’s defeat was one of Saturday’s talking points. Austrian Suljovic averaged 91.51 to register a fourth successive victory over three-time world champion Van Gerwen. He will face 12th seed Ross Smith in Sunday’s last 16. Defending champion Stephen Bunting also exited the tournament. The seventh seed, who defeated Luke Woodhouse in last year’s final, lost 6-4 to Jeffrey de Graaf.
