The quarter-finals at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts draw to a close with a blockbuster matchup on Saturday evening, when Luke Littler faces off against Josh Rock. The winner of this match between the Nuke and Rocky will face either Danny Noppert or Lukas Wenig in the semi-finals. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Littler is well on course to defend his Grand Slam of Darts title and maintained his 100% record in this year’s competition by making light work of Wessel Nijman (10-4) on Thursday.
The Nuke recorded a three-dart average of 105.00 - the seventh-highest in the competition - and converted a stunning 83.33% (10/12) of his checkout attempts, including a highest checkout of 78.
Littler has won two televised titles in the last month and has beaten his upcoming opponent twice already this year.
Meanwhile, after a poor run of results over the past month, Josh Rock is starting to find his rhythm again and booked his spot in the last eight with a resilient victory over Connor Scutt (10-9).
In a match that ebbed and flowed throughout, Rocky was out-averaged by the Englishman but held his throw in the last two sets to clinch the result in the final leg. He made 10/28 of his checkout attempts.
Rock is now on a three-match win streak, though this is the first time he has won three games on the bounce since the start of October.
