Peter Wright has eliminated defending champion José de Sousa with a hard-fought victory at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
The Scot took a 2-0 lead in the early stages of the match, but then had to chase after it for a long time. De Sousa took over the lead with finishes of 76 and 62 and went into the break with a 3-2 lead. After the break Wright broke back, but his Portuguese opponent broke again with a 16-darter in the tenth leg.
Wright came out of the second break a lot sharper. With a 12-darter, 68 finish and an 80 check-out Snakebite turned a 4-6 deficit into a 7-6 lead. Moments later, the world number two led 9-8, but in that leg Wright missed five match darts. De Sousa then forced a deciding leg via double 10, which he was allowed to start himself. The Special One did that very badly without a treble in his first four turns. Wright took advantage and threw a 62 finish to win 10-9.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- 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
