Luke Littler produced a stunning fightback to beat Mike de Decker 10-9 and reach the Grand Slam of Darts quarter-finals.

Prendergast was one of the stars of Ireland's Under-20s Six Nations Grand Slam win in 2023 and also impressed during this year's Emerging Ireland series in South Africa, starting three games at fly-half in the space of the week.

Michael van Gerwen failed to make it through to the Grand Slam of Darts last 16 after a 5-4 defeat by Ryan Joyce.

The victory marks her third title of a year in which she did not reach a singles Grand Slam final, with her best runs coming at the Australian Open and on the Roland Garros clay, when she was eliminated in the semi-finals.

Although it has ended in defeat, 2024 has been a season to remember for Zheng, who after reaching her first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open in January - losing to Aryna Sabalenka - made history in Paris in the summer when she won China’s first Olympic singles tennis gold medal.
