Taylor plays Mervyn King in the next round of Premier League matches

Stoke-on-Trent's Phil Taylor completed a Players Championship double in Germany with two victories over local rival Adrian Lewis.

Taylor whitewashed Lewis 6-0 in the final of Saturday's tournament, and almost repeated that score a day later in Sunday's championship, winning 6-1.

The victories take Taylor's earnings in 2009 to �199,000.

The Premier League champion is back in action on Thursday - he takes on Mervyn King in the league.

Taylor was beaten by James Wade in the last round of matches - his first defeat of the 2009 tournament - while King remains unbeaten in his maiden Premier League campaign.
