Wright whitewashes De Decker to book Last 16 spot, Defending champion De Sousa through despite Humphries defeat

Peter Wright and Jose de Sousa are the next players through to the Last 16 of the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts as the line-up gets close to being confirmed.

Wright was set to qualify with a win in a group which saw Fallon Sherrock still attempting to qualify when she plays Gabriel Clemens shortly.

But 'Snakebite' held up his end to move through easing past Mike de Decker in a whitewash win.

It wasn't vintage Wright but it didn't need to be with De Decker averaging only 78 and only getting two darts at a double as he heads out with a whimper after defeats to Clemens, Sherrock and Wright.

While Luke Humphries claimed a 5-3 win over De Sousa but it wasn't enough for him to move through by a solitary leg as 'The Special One' who is defending champion in Wolverhampton claimed the legs he needed.

He needed 5-2 or better to claim his spot in the next round meaning a bittersweet end for the Newbury ace as the Portuguese now joins Mensur Suljovic who won through with a superb display earlier in the Last 16.
