Former Premier League champion on Sky SportsNeither man has truly imposed themselves.
The performance is yet to fulfil the occasion. We're still yet to see the best from both.

Former Premier League champion on Sky SportsGerwyn Price has been the height of consistency this year.
He's reached the semi-finals in every ranking tournament but he wants to lift trophies because he is a winner.

I'd love Price to win the title, but I also hope that Littler wins his semi as that would take him past £3m in prize money over the last two years which is just ridiculous.

Price 6-4 Van Veen
Gian van Veen may have won that mini-session 3-2 but there's still plenty of faffing on the doubles.
He's marginally improved from 16.67% to 19.05%.
You feel that is going to have to drastically improve though if he's going to reach Sunday's final and become world number two in the process.

Price 6-4 Van Veen
Image source, Getty ImagesVan Veen fires in his fourth 180 of the match - he look a different player!
He gets down to 81 but misses two doubles, but Price isn't in a position to check out.
Van Veen returns and fails to take out 12 - it's a shambles. 17 misses at double tonight.
But Price can't take advantage, and Van Veen navigates a check out of three to keep his momentum going.
Three legs on the bounce, and he's right back in it.
