Phil Taylor: 'I still have work to do'

By , Senior Reporter
Phil Taylor insists that he can still improve after setting a new record average for the Grand Slam of Darts in his win over Christian Kist.

Phil Taylor has warned his rivals that he feels "relaxed" about defending his Grand Slam of Darts title in Wolverhampton.

The 16-time world champion recorded an average of 114.65 - the highest ever posted at the event - in beating Christian Kist on Sunday evening, but the Stoke-on-Trent thrower believes that he still has work to do to find his "A" game later in the week.

The 54-year-old is quoted by PDC.TV: "Christian was superb and he put me under pressure, and it was a great game.

"I'm relaxed and I think I'm going to play well this week. I've still got some work to do but this was a great win for me."

Taylor is all but assured of his place in the last 16 but he can confirm top spot by defeating Andy Hamilton on Tuesday night.
