Group F at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts kicks off with Josh Rock taking on Wessel Nijman on Saturday afternoon. Rocky and Nijman are drawn alongside Gian van Veen and Lisa Ashton in this group. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Josh Rock returns to the Grand Slam of Darts this year hoping to do better than in 2024, where he failed to get beyond the group stage, finishing behind Gian van Veen and Stephen Bunting.
Rocky’s highlight this year was winning the World Cup of Darts alongside Daryl Gurney. He also won the PC10 event in April and reached the semis of the World Matchplay, UK Open and WSOD.
However, the Irishman has not been in the best form of late, losing each of his last four matches, including a first-round elimination at the European Championship last month.
Meanwhile, Wessel Nijman finished bottom of the table in this competition last year. He qualified for this edition at the TCH qualifier, beating Ritchie Edhouse 5-2 in the decider.
The Dutchman has come on leaps and bounds this year and enters this tournament directly off the back of winning his second Players Championship title - PC34 last week.
Nijman also clinched the PC30 title last month and has only lost one of his last 13 matches in all competitions. However, he has lost his last three games against Rock.
