Littler Beats Greaves in Blockbuster Opener
Defending champion Luke Littler opened his bid for a third straight Grand Slam title with a 5-2 win over Beau Greaves. The world number one averaged 109.97, while Greaves, the Women’s World Matchplay champion, averaged almost 104 in defeat. Littler has now won 15 Grand Slam matches in a row. He meets Niels Zonneveld on Monday, with a win confirming his place in the knockouts, while Greaves faces Zonneveld on Sunday evening in a match she cannot afford to lose.
Aspinall Stars with Career-Best Average
Nathan Aspinall was the stand-out performer of day one, producing the highest televised average of his career in a 5-1 demolition of Maik Kuivenhoven. The Stockport star averaged 111.68 and closed out the win with back-to-back 149 and 120 checkouts. Aspinall, the Grand Slam runner-up in 2022, called the new format absolutely brutal and said the opening game was massive, with lots of shocks to come.
Van Gerwen Survives Coates Scare
Three-time champion Michael van Gerwen came through a nine-leg thriller against debutant Henry Coates, winning 5-4, his 16th straight opening group win at the Grand Slam. Coates hit five 180s and produced superb 121 and 156 checkouts, and Van Gerwen had to survive two match darts in the decider before triumphing with a 100.42 average.

Elsewhere, 2023 champion Luke Humphries averaged 105.7 in a 5-3 win over Paolo Nebrida, while Gian van Veen averaged 110.51 in a 5-2 win over Carl Sneyd.

Conclusion
Day one showed exactly why the new Grand Slam format is so ruthless, with four seeds beaten and no second chance for the runner-up in any group. Littler and Aspinall set a high standard, but the real drama on Sunday belongs to the beaten seeds, who must win or face an early exit.
Clayton against Cross and Greaves against Zonneveld will shape the groups before the final round of matches on Monday and Tuesday. If the seeds recover, the group stage will go to the wire; if another one falls, the race for the Eric Bristow Trophy opens up.
