Players Championship 18 – Loting zet veel Nederlanders tegen elkaar – update uitslagen 1ste en 2de ronde
De tweede editie dit weekeinde van het PDC Players Championship begint nu niet echt gunstig voor de Nederlandse deelnemers. Door loting zijn er namelijk een aantal partijen uit de hoge hoed gekomen waarin Nederlanders elkaar al in de eerste ronde treffen. Daarbij zitten er ook nog een aantal in dezelfde groep en treffen er een paar in de eerste ronde nu niet echt een gemakkelijke tegenstander. Als we het sheet even doorlopen zien we dat Joey ten Berge in de eerste ronde speelt tegen Andrew Gilding in groep 3 en treft Vincent van der Voort in groep 8 Engelsman Stuart Kellett. In groep 9 zitten twee Nederlanders, Michael van Gerwen die James Hubbard geloot heeft en in de derde partij van deze groep komt Raymond van Barneveld in actie tegen Ross Twell.
In poule 11 zitten Ryan de Vreede en Jerry Hendriks die elkaar bij een zege op respectievelijk Peter Wright en Steve West in de volgende ronde tegen komen. In poule 13 treft Mareno Michels de Schot Robert Thornton en in de derde partij spelen Jelle Klaasen en Christian Kist tegen elkaar. Verder zit ook Gino Vos in deze groep, en in groep 15 spelen Benito van de Pas en Ron Meulenkamp tegen elkaar.
