While Clayton saw off Berry van Peer with ease in a display where doubling proved the issue for the Dutchman in a 5-2 defeat as his return to the Grand Slam of Darts was not a winning one.
He recorded a finishing percentage of just 15 per cent (2/13). He took a 2-0 lead early in the match, but missed a chance on double 13 to make it 3-1.
Then there was a miss on tops in the fifth leg, before Van Peer failed to hit as many as four darts on the doubles in the sixth leg. Also in the sixth leg, Van Peer had one chance, but missed tops for a 154 finish. Then it was Clayton who managed to finish 100 for victory.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
