Nieuwlaat believes in Van Barneveld's chances at Grand Slam of Darts: 'When he sets his sights on something, it usually works out'

The Grand Slam of Darts kicks off in Wolverhampton on Saturday. Raymond van Barneveld managed to qualify through the qualifying tournament last Sunday.
Van Barneveld is in a group with Gerwyn Price, Dave Chisnall and Ted Evetts. "He has surprisingly good stats against both Price and Chisnall. Although I have to say that most of the wins date back several years," said Viaplay commentator Jacques Nieuwlaat.

Crucial match
The 55-year-old Dutchman, who won the tournament in 2012, meets Chisnall in his first pool match. "That will be a crucial match," says Nieuwlaat. "But Raymond has been looking fresh lately and he often succeeds when he sets his sights on something. So I think he and Price will survive this group."
