Luke Littler starts his Grand Slam of Darts title defence with a 5-2 victory over Beau Greaves in Wolverhampton. The win is presented as the opening step in Littler’s bid for another Grand Slam success, with multiple reports describing the match as commanding and emphatic.

Most outlets focus on the result and the overall control Littler shows in the Group A encounter. The Independent adds performance detail, saying Littler averages just under 110 and lands seven 180s. Sky’s coverage also frames Littler’s dominance in terms such as being “unplayable” and highlights the match as a strong start toward a potential third Grand Slam crown.

Separate coverage also turns to Greaves’ perspective ahead of their meeting, with both a Sky News and The Sky Sports Football item reporting her saying she is “excited” to face Littler on the opening day of the event. Across the sources, the emphasis varies between match control, statistical output, and pre-match reaction, while the core facts remain consistent.
