With one set of group fixtures, there's plenty left to play for at the Grand Slam of Darts.
28 of the 32 players left can technically still progress. Unfortunately, the Grand Slam race is run already for Ross Smith, Lisa Ashton, Richard Veenstra and Martin Schindler. The quartet will be playing for pride in their last game.
There will be four dramatic showdowns for knockout spots. In Group A, Adrian Lewis plays Jim Williams, with the winner joining the already qualified Michael van Gerwen in the next phase.
Rob Cross will do battle with Jamie Hughes in Group E, while Group G culminates in an all-Northern Irish meeting between Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan. In Group H, either Glen Durrant or Nathan Aspinall will progress alongside Michael Smith.
As mentioned, van Gerwen and Smith are already through. So too are Grand Slam debutant Gabriel Clemens, and Dave Chisnall. On four points apiece, James Wade, Gerwyn Price, Gary Anderson and Peter Wright will all go through by avoiding a heavy defeat in their last game.
Despite being on zero points, the BDO foursome of Wesley Harms, Mikuru Suzuku, Dave Parletti and Wayne Warren can all still qualify. However, it would take a heavy swing - plus a win for the table-topping seed - for any of them to cause a famous Grand Slam upset.
