The quarter-final at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts kicks off with Ricky Evans taking on Gerwyn Price on Friday evening. The winner of this match between Rapid Ricky and the Iceman will meet either Luke Humphries or Michael Smith in the semi-final. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Ranked 46th in the world, Ricky Evans has been one of the biggest surprise packages in this year’s Grand Slam of Darts. He secured his spot in the quarter-final with a 10-9 victory over Luke Woodhouse.
Against Woody, Rapid Ricky pinned six 180s and maintained a three-dart average of 93.52. He converted 50% (10/20) of his checkout attempts and recorded a highest checkout of 88.
Evans has now won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions, which included beating his upcoming opponent 5-4 in the group stage of this tournament.
Meanwhile, since that loss to Evans, Gerwyn Price has looked excellent and made fairly light work of Martin Schindler (10-6) in the second round of the competition on Wednesday night.
The Iceman had four 180s and averaged 96.71 against Schindler. He converted 10/22 of his checkout attempts, which included reeling in the big fish to secure the victory.
Price has also won seven of his last 10 matches. Notably, while he lost to this opponent in the group stage, he did beat Evans 11 times in a row before that, dating back to 2018.

Our Ricky Evans vs Gerwyn Price Prediction
Ricky Evans has already defied expectations to reach the last eight in this year’s Grand Slam of Darts, and he has the psychological advantage here, having beaten this opponent earlier in the competition.
However, Gerwyn Price has improved with each match since that defeat in the opening round, and the manner in which he dispatched Martin Schindler in midweek was extremely impressive. We fancy the Iceman to get his revenge in this one. Our Ricky Evans vs Gerwyn Price prediction is Gerwyn Price -2.5.
