Nathan Aspinall has once again continued his resurgence this season by reaching the Quarter-Finals of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton after a superb win over Jermaine Wattimena.

He looked to make the tie light work in the early stages surging into a 4-1 lead with a 90 checkout with three 180's and a 103 average but Wattimena made a comeback from there.
He punished five missed darts at doubles from The Asp and closed the gap to 5-3 as a result but Aspinall stop the run of legs by restoring a two leg cushion at the break going 6-4 up.
Again he surged ahead taking out 66 to open up a cushion of 7-4 and followed that up with another to go one away at 9-5. Leaving 32 from 122, he pinned the target to move through.
