Jeffrey de Graaf vs Henry Coates prediction

Henry Coates produced an outstanding display on Saturday night as he pushed Michael van Gerwen all the way before losing 5-4 to the Dutch legend.

Coates averaged 99.19 and hit five 180s and two 100-plus checkouts, but Van Gerwen broke the throw in the deciding leg to produce the goods when it mattered most.

Coates will take plenty of confidence from that performance and from his recent form. He has a win over James Wade and also pushed Gerwyn Price all the way before losing 6-5 at Players Championship 33. Those performances are far better than his world ranking of 196 suggests, and he is a very live threat here.

Jeffrey de Graaf, however, has enjoyed a good year on the Players Championship tour, with a title, a semi-final and two quarter-final appearances in the second half of the year. Remarkably, this is the Swede’s first appearance at the Grand Slam of Darts, and he will be eager to do well.

That will be easier said than done against Coates. The pair have met once before, on the Players Championship tour at the end of July, when Coates won 6-3.

Coates will fancy his chances after pushing Van Gerwen all the way, and given his previous win over De Graaf, we can see him carrying the momentum from Saturday night into this one and getting the win.
