First round: Day 2 live coverage & results
Damon Heta can't seem to find a break at majors in 2025, dropping another first-round match, this time against Luke Woodhouse.
Former World Grand Prix champion Daryl Gurney picked up a dominant win against Ross Smith, winning 2-0 in a match where he won six out of seven of the legs played.
Jonny Clayton erased a deficit in the second set to avoid having to play a third and took home a 2-0 win over Andrew Gilding.
Gerwyn Price looked done and dusted after the first set against Ryan Searle, but fought back to win 2-1 in one of the best matches we've seen this week so far.
Luke Littler and Gian van Veen both produce averages over 105, but Littler came out victorious in another Grand Prix thriller.
After a surge from Michael van Gerwen, who tried to force a last-set decider, Dirk van Duijvenbode shut down the comeback attempt, winning 2-0 and eliminating the six-time World Grand Prix champion.
Peter Wright took set one, but the reigning World Grand Prix champion, Mike De Decker, won the next two sets to defeat Wright 2-1.
Josh Rock's game against Ryan Joyce ended with a clutch 108 checkout from Rock in a last-leg decider.
