Standings groups A-E-F-G at Grand Slam of Darts 2024: Defending champion Humphries dumped out, Anderson topples Van Gerwen

On Sunday night, the second series of group matches were played in Groups A-E-F-G at the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts. Four players have already guaranteed their stay in Wolverhampton will continue, while for just as many players the curtain has already fallen after two duels.

In Group A, Mickey Mansell is the proud leader after victories over Rowby-John Rodriguez and James Wade. After Luke Humphries' defeat against Wade, Mansell is certain of the last sixteen, while defending champion Humphries can pack up after his last game. Rodriguez and Wade will decide between themselves who will also advance to the second round.

Jermaine Wattimena is already sure of qualifying for the knockout stage after two matches in Group E. 'The Machine Gun' recorded fine victories over both Mike de Decker and Michael Smith. With only a game left against straggler Mensur Suljovic, Wattimena can secure a group win on Tuesday. De Decker and Smith will compete in a straight fight for a spot in the last 16.

Luke Littler is close to winning the group in Group F. Qualification for the knockout phase is now within reach for 'The Nuke', who only needs two more legs against Lourence Ilagan to secure first place. Ilagan is already definitely out after defeats against Keane Barry and Dimitri van den Bergh. For Barry and Van den Bergh a battle for second place in this group remains.

Gary Anderson is currently the leader in Group G after two matches. After victories over Ryan Joyce and Michael van Gerwen, 'The Flying Scotsman' is already sure of the last sixteen. With a match against the already eliminated Noa-Lynn van Leuven to go, Anderson can almost smell the lead. Van Gerwen and Joyce meet in a decider for a spot in the last 16.
