Van Gerwen, Humphries and Clayton all qualify for Last 16 in updated standings in Groups E-H after two games at 2022 Grand Slam of Darts

Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries and Jonny Clayton have all qualified with a game to spare for the Last 16 of the Grand Slam of Darts joining Dirk van Duijvenbode and Raymond van Barneveld in moving through already.

Van Gerwen eased past Luke Woodhouse in a 5-1 win, while Humphries produced the standout display of the tournament so far blasting past Ryan Searle 5-1 with a 107 average.

Jonny Clayton while not a standout for performances has done so in terms of going about his business not dropping a single leg so far in Wolverhampton.

In terms of the complexion of the other groups, Group E sees Peter Wright currently leading the way and on the cusp of moving into the latter stages. Fallon Sherrock is one of the only players fully eliminated come what may but it is looking like a three way battle for two spots.

Alan Soutar missed six match darts and should have moved through but instead now will have to defeat Sherrock and hope that Wright wins or Aspinall defeats 'Snakebite' heavily to seal his spot.

While in Group F, it is tied between Jermaine Wattimena and Damon Heta but the Dutchman is likely in pole position. This due to him playing Leonard Gates who could have sealed a win tonight if not for miscounts but unlike Clayton who will face Heta has dropped legs in this tournament.

Ross Smith will face Michael van Gerwen hoping for at least a competitive result as he leads by five legs in terms of leg difference but all will be irrelevant if Woodhouse loses to Nathan Rafferty.

While in Group H, Josh Rock and Ryan Searle will battle it out for the last spot albeit with the latter facing Scott Williams who has not claimed a win and despite inferior leg difference, a win will do it if Rock cannot defeat Humphries. These ties all get played on Tuesday.
