Chisnall returns to form after Van Barneveld defeat with Evetts win at Grand Slam of Darts

Dave Chisnall after losing out to Raymond van Barneveld yesterday has sealed his first points at the Grand Slam of Darts with a 5-2 win over Ted Evetts on Sunday afternoon.

With Gerwyn Price also ahead of him, Chisnall had to win and by a handsome margin to keep his hopes realistically alive ahead of his tie with 'The Iceman' tomorrow in what could be a crunch clash.

He took a 2-0 lead but with an 87 checkout and a hold of throw, Evetts made it 2-2. But a break at 4-2 on double eight saw Chisnall go one away and he sealed it with a 113 checkout. Stats wise, he produced a 101.5 average, four 180's and 55.6% on the doubles.

While Mensur Suljovic also has his first win of the tournament, he sealed a 5-2 victory over Christian Perez who after yesterday's narrow loss to Danny Noppert could've acted as the spoiler.

But it is 'The Gentle' who sealed victory with a highest checkout of 101 as he awaits Noppert next who will face Simon Whitlock today.
