Peter Wright and Fallon Sherrock will face each other again at the Grand Slam of Darts
Fallon Sherrock takes on Peter Wright on the opening night of the 2022 Grand Slam of Darts in a rematch of last year’s thrilling quarter-final between the two.
Reigning champion and world No. 1 Gerwyn Price leads a tempting draw for the tournament, which kicks off live air sports on Saturday, with the Welshman in Group A alongside Dave Chisnall, Raymond van Barneveld and Ted Evetts.
Three-time champion Michael van Gerwen is also part of a star-studded draw of 32 players, with the top two from each of the eight groups advancing to the knockout stages at Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton, with the winner taking the coveted Eric Bristow Trophy and £150,000.
Sherrock honed her reputation at last year’s Grand Slam as she advanced through the group stage before knocking out Mensur Suljovic to set up a quarter-final with Wright in which the two-time world champion came through 16-13 before losing in for the third time in the final.
Reigning World Champion Wright and Women’s World Matchplay winner Sherrock will be joined in Group E by World Grand Prix runner-up Nathan Aspinall and Scottish debutant Alan Soutar.
Sherrock and Wright will headline a blockbuster opening day, which will also feature Group A, as Price takes on World Youth Champion Ted Evetts.
Van Gerwen will take on recently crowned European champion Ross Smith in Group G, with qualifier Luke Woodhouse and 2021 World Youth Championship finalist Nathan Rafferty alongside the pair.
