In a highly touted clash before proceedings started, Michael van Gerwen took care of business to begin Group G at the Grand Slam of Darts by seeing off Lisa Ashton in a whitewash win as the opening night continues.
Van Gerwen was merciless as he averaged nearly 106 and hit 5/8 on the doubles to see off Ashton in double quick time.
He hit the ground running with a 180 and double 16 for a 14-darter to hold throw and did the same for a 47 checkout to seal a break of throw and a 2-0 lead.
This was consolidated by Mighty Mike to make it 3-0 as he headed towards the finishing line averaging towards 107 and not giving Ashton any resolve.
Ashton pinned a 180 on her throw but a 171 and 132 setup from Van Gerwen left double 16 which he pinned for a 4-0 lead.
Another dominant leg on throw sealed the deal for 'Mighty Mike' who has got off to a perfect start.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
