On the first day of the World Grand Prix there were several upsets. Ryan Joyce eliminated Josh Rock who was as chanceless as in the last match of the night Gian van Veen against an outstanding Ross Smith.
Luke Littler lost to Rob Cross for whom a few great legs in the third legs sufficed for the win. Ricardo Pietreczko was the only debutant who reached the next round - he defeated a far from his best
Raymond van Barneveld. Martin Schindler progressed with a solid performance into the second round as did a very convincing Jonny Clayton. Reigning champion Luke Humphries survived a very close
match against Stephen Bunting. As close but slightly more highclass was the match between Nathan Aspinall and Ryan Searle in which Aspinall prevailed in the end.

The second day of the World Matchplay was a little bit pressed for time which one could feel in the last match of the night. Seed Dave Chisnall looked rather nervous und
couldn't get anything straight - he lost 2:10 against Krzysztof Ratajski. Seed Peter Wright was not really at ease either and was eliminated by Andrew Gilding.
The third seeded player who lost his match was Danny Noppert who in the afternoon-session couldn't cope with James Wade. Highlights of the day were Dimitri van den Bergh's nine-darter, Bunting's win in the
Tie Break against Ryan Joyce and a fantastic match between Rob Cross and Gian van Veen which Cross won in a Sudden Death Leg.
Tonight the last four first round matches will be played - among them the highly anticipated game between Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler.
