MVG had been looking a bit tired in recent tournaments after he picked up the Singapore Masters, World Cup, World Grand Prix and European Championship titles amid a serious of other European Tour and ProTour triumphs. However, MVG lost to Mervyn King at the Masters and Terry Jenkins at the recent Players Championship Finals showing occasional drop in form in high-pressure situations.

Joe Cullen has played on this stage four times previously and he has been a first round loser in the last four consecutive years. He lost his World Championship debut in a deciding set, but has been beaten 3-0 in the past three years. Anyway, he has two ProTour Semi-Finals under his belt this season and is regarded as a star of the future.

Surprisingly, Joe Cullen has won four of the eleven previous meetings between the pair, including their most recent encounter at a Players Championship event in Dublin in October.

Van Gerwen has banked a whopping £918,100 in prize money this year. Cullen, currently ranked world number 44, has earned £39,050 in contrast.
