Michael van Gerwen wasted no time against Lisa Ashton and wasn't in the mood to be embroiled in another battle with Joe Cullen on the second night of action at the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts.
A truly unplayable display from the Green Machine saw him break the average record at the Grand Slam of Darts with 115.19 beating the previous effort set last year by Dimitri van den Bergh.

Before that, Gabriel Clemens punished Peter Wright and once again saw off the World Number Two on TV after his victory at the World Darts Championship just under a year ago.
Sent all the way to a decider after the pair couldn't be split throughout the contest, Clemens missed two for the match. Only for Wright to return and miss the same amount himself.
Finally 'The German Giant' returned for a clean kill on double 16 for the victory with Group E very much all still to play for.

- 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
