Peter Wright books his place in the Semi-Finals of the 2021 @CazooUK Grand Slam of Darts, ending Fallon Sherrock's history-making run in Wolverhampton.
But Wright, playing some of his best darts of the week, took four legs on the spin before Sherrock missed double top for 7-7.
A 13-dart leg from Sherrock pulled her back to trail just 14-13 but despite averaging over 100 for most of the match, she was unable to reel Wright in and went down 16-13.
“I’m so proud of myself. I’m absolutely knackered but I tried my best, Peter is amazing,” Sherrock told Sky Sports. “This week has been incredible, I couldn’t have asked for a better week.”
Wright will face Michael Smith, who shocked third seed Michael Van Gerwen 16-13, in the semi-finals.
