"Michael van Gerwen versus Fallon Sherrock, that will be spectacular" - Glen Durrant eagerly anticipating opening night of Grand Slam of Darts

On Saturday, the 2023 edition of the Grand Slam of Darts gets underway in Wolverhampton. Michael Smith begins the tournament as defending champion after defeating Nathan Aspinall in last year's final.
Still, former Grand Slam semi-finalist Glen Durrant does not think Smith will succeed once again. "When I think of the Grand Slam, I think of Gerwyn Price," Durrant told Sky Sports before laying out a very specific prediction. "Price to beat Danny Noppert 18-12 in the final."
Given the unique nature of the Grand Slam though, seeds can fall before reaching the business end of the tournament. "I'm really nervous for Jonny Clayton," Durrant admits in this regard. "I don't know how well Nathan Aspinall is playing right now, he needs to bounce back but Jonny's in a tough group there."
Looking at the group stage as a whole, there are plenty of enticing ties but for 'Duzza', one, in particular, stands out from the rest. "Opening night, Michael van Gerwen versus Fallon Sherrock, that will be spectacular."

- 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
