The standout Grand Slam of Darts groups

Littler’s group stands out straight away. Greaves earned her place by reaching the World Youth Championship final. She now gets a shot at the world number one on a big TV stage. Zonneveld completes the group.

Luke Humphries, the second seed, is in Group I. He will play Joe Cullen and Paolo Nebrida. Cullen came through Friday’s qualifier in Leicester, where he beat Michael Smith in his deciding match.

Group G looks the toughest on paper. Fifth seed Jonny Clayton has been drawn with former world champion Rob Cross. Anton Ostlund, who took the last place in the field on Sunday, completes the group. Our report on Ostlund’s Nordic & Baltic title explains how he got there.

Gerwyn Price, a three-time winner of this event, is fourth seed in Group E. He faces Sebastian Bialecki and Joe Hunt. Michael van Gerwen, seeded tenth, meets Jeffrey de Graaf and Henry Coates in Group L.

Third seed Gian van Veen is in Group M with qualifiers Bradley Brooks and Carl Sneyd. James Wade, the seventh seed, takes on Ricky Evans and Cam Crabtree in Group K. Evans came through Friday’s qualifier too.

Lisa Ashton is in Group B. She plays Alan Soutar and 16th seed Jermaine Wattimena. Debutant Charlie Manby faces Ryan Searle and Andrew Gilding in Group F.
