Suljovic sets up Van Gerwen clash as Brooks wins Swiss Darts Trophy opener

Mensur Suljovic set up a second-round meeting with Michael van Gerwen at the Swiss Darts Trophy after beating Gyorgy Jehirszki 6–3 in Basel.

The Austrian will face Van Gerwen in Saturday’s evening session after progressing through Friday’s opening round.

Bradley Brooks and William O’Connor also advanced during the early afternoon matches.

Brooks averages over 100 in Swiss Darts Trophy win

Brooks defeated Niels Zonneveld 6–4 in a contest in which both players averaged more than 100.

The Englishman averaged 100.73 to Zonneveld’s 100.17, according to the Dartsnews results tracker.

His reward is a second-round match against Chris Dobey on Saturday afternoon.

O’Connor secured a more comfortable passage, beating Jani Haavisto 6–1 to arrange a meeting with Ross Smith.

The updated tournament draw places both matches in Saturday’s afternoon session, before Suljovic takes on Van Gerwen that evening.

The tournament continues throughout the weekend, with the champion crowned on Sunday.
