The Irishman knocked Van Gerwen out of last year’s World Matchplay Championship and is looking to do it all over again.

Dolan said: “I’m hoping for more of the same. I don’t think Michael is.

“I’m going to get stuck in, do my best and hopefully put in a really good performance that I know I can do.”

Dolan has been dealing with a shoulder problem in recent months.

But his finishing power helped him to victory over Hong Kong’s Lee at Ally Pally.

Dolan told Sky Sports: “I would have liked better scoring but my doubles finishing was brilliant.

“I’m glad to get over the line and I’m delighted with the win. I’m over the injury. That’s gone.

“That’s done and dusted. Onwards and upwards.”

Van Gerwen began his charge for a fourth World Championship with a routine 3-0 victory against England’s James Hurrell.

He said: “I think I played OK, of course like everyone knows it’s been a tough year for me.

“To stand up here and do the thing you want to do always takes a lot of energy, but overall I put in a good performance.

“My doubles were there, I was confident, and the most important thing is that I won the game.

“It wasn’t spectacular but I don’t really care because I won the game. It’s only the start of my campaign and there’s more to come.”
