From Saturday, November 11 to Sunday, November 19, the seventeenth edition of the Grand Slam of Darts will be played in Wolverhampton. Ahead of the start of this tournament, Dartsnews looks back on special moments from the history of this tournament.
Kim Huybrechts provided the highlight of the tournament at the 2014 Grand Slam of Darts by throwing a nine-darter against Michael van Gerwen. 'The Hurricane' not only threw a perfect leg and a 170 finish, but defeated 'Mighty Mike' 16-10 after an unparalleled match.
The Belgian was truly unleashed, throwing an average of almost 105 in the quarterfinals of this edition of the Grand Slam of Darts. The nine-darter fell in the 21st leg, with it Huybrechts broke the Dutchman for a 14-7 lead. Huybrechts started with two 180s, only to polish off 141 and what followed was a wonderful explosion of joy.
Watch the match between Huybrechts and Van Gerwen back in the video below.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
