Luke Littler vs Beau Greaves prediction

Luke Littler has never lost a match at the Grand Slam, but his recent form has been way below his usual standard: a 10-4 defeat to Jonny Clayton at the World Series Finals, a first-round exit at the World Grand Prix and a European Championship quarter-final loss to Krzysztof Ratajski.

Beau Greaves became the first woman to win a PDC ranking title this year and set the women's record televised average at this event last year.

The head-to-head is level at 1-1, and both matches went the distance. Littler edged their PC24 meeting 6-5 in 2025 despite Greaves averaging 102, before she beat him 6-5 in the World Youth Championship semi-finals two months later.

There's no doubt that Littler is the favourite, but there may be some nerves on show and anything can happen over a short format. Just like their previous matches, we expect this to be a close-run thing.
