Van Barneveld and Wattimena set interesting statistic after qualifying for 2022 Grand Slam of Darts

Raymond van Barneveld and Jermaine Wattimena sealed qualification for the Grand Slam of Darts on Sunday afternoon winning through the qualifier and became the first duo of Dutch darting talents to move through.

Van Barneveld is the only player to win through twice in 2021 and 2022, while Wattimena has won through for the first time. This goes all the way back to 2013 with Vincent van der Voort.

As well as 2017 with the most recent example barring Barney in Jeffrey de Zwaan who won through.
