Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright have taken a giant step towards reaching the knockout stage at the Grand Slam of Darts. Both players also won their second round-robin match on Sunday afternoon.
Wright grabbed the points against Max Hopp, who was outscored by the Scotsman. 'Snakebite' played a lot better than Saturday and won 5-2 as he averaged 98 and hit five out nine darts on the double.
Price overcame Glen Durrant after an absolute cracker. The Welshman impressed with seven maximum scores and sharp finishes (56 percent). Nevertheless, 'Duzza' came very close to the victory.
The two-time Lakeside champion had a 4-3 lead after seven legs, but Price hit a stunning 11-dart leg to level the match at 4-4. Finally, 'The Iceman' came through after a leg-decider.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
