Darts News. World champion Peter Wright crashed out of the Grand Slam of Darts and defending champion Gerwyn Price survived another scare as the group stages came to a close on Thursday.

Needing to win just three legs, Snakebite slipped to a defeat against Devon Petersen, a win that allowed Ian White to sneak through on leg difference.

The other drama surrounded the two-time defending champion Price who has not lost at the Grand Slam since a group-stage defeat to Simon Whitlock in He came from down to beat Ryan Joyce in a last-leg decider to keep his three-peat hopes alive.

Only Michael van Gerwen arrived on the final day of group stage assured of a place in the last 16 and he maintained a perfect record with a win over Joe Cullen that gave Adam Hunt the most unlikely of second-round spots.

It was an enormous commitment to make, as he moved his life and family to the UK in order to compete as a full-time professional, and now he is reaping the rewards.

In September, Petersen secured his maiden PDC ranking title at the German Darts Championship, which was followed by his best televised showing just weeks later, as he featured in the semi-finals of the European Championship.

Having progressed through to the Grand Slam knockout stages with wins over world champion Peter Wright, World Grand Prix finalist Dirk van Duijvenbode and world No 12 Ian White, Petersen will break into the world's top 32 for the first time in his career next week.

Prior to , Petersen had never posted a ton-plus average on the PDC circuit - now it's a surprise when he fails to register an average in three figures, having forged a reputation as one of the most prolific scorers on the planet.

This climb into the world's top 32 represents a significant landmark for the year-old, who paid tribute to those who have been instrumental in his remarkable ascent up the darting pyramid.

Petersen - who will take on Damon Heta for a place in the Grand Slam quarter-finals on Saturday - cut an emotional figure as he reflected on his exploits over recent weeks, which have coincided with the birth of his daughter.

The truncated schedule has heightened the already gruelling demands placed on the world's elite and with the restrictions in place due to Covid, the life of a darting professional is a rather lonely existence at present.
