Beau Greaves falls agonisingly short against Gary Anderson at Grand Slam of Darts a day after Michael van Gerwen thriller

Beau Greaves has suffered a 5-4 defeat at the hands of Gary Anderson in her second group-stage fixture at the Grand Slam of Darts.

On Saturday night, the three-time WDF women's champion missed two match darts to beat Michael van Gerwen, upping the stakes ahead of a showdown with two-time world champion Anderson.

The 21-year-old kicked off the match with 11 and 15-dart legs as she looked to stamp her authority on the contest, but Anderson roared back with 14 and 11-dart legs of his own.

At 3-2 down, Greaves hit a timely 72 checkout to keep the pressure on Anderson, only for the legendary Scot to respond with an 80 finish in the seventh leg with Greaves left of 75.

ANDERSON BEATS BEAU!

Gary Anderson takes out a clutch 103 checkout to win the deciding-leg 5-4 and take home a crucial two points!

If Niko Springer beats Michael van Gerwen, Beau Greaves will be eliminated!

With Anderson left on 116 to win, Greaves checked out 64 - continuing her 100% record on the doubles - but Anderson hit a 103 finish in the decider with Greaves back on 161.

Had Michael van Gerwen defeated Niko Springer, Greaves could have still progressed through to the last 16, but Springer posted a 5-4 win to ensure that Greaves was eliminated.

Greaves has already qualified for the upcoming PDC World Championship and earned a PDC Tour Card for 2026 and 2027.
