THE PLAYERS
WAYNE WARREN
- Wayne Warren defeated Wesley Harms at this stage of the tournament two years ago and in 2019 he won in straight sets against Mark Layton.
- Warren qualified for the Grand Slam of Darts in 2019 due to his BDO ranking, though he failed to win a match in a group containing Peter Wright, Danny Noppert and Ryan Harrington.
JUSTIN THOMPSON

THE PREDICTION
Number five seed Wayne Warren faces a tough test in round one against the methodical Justin Thompson who may have some kind of advantage having already played a match at this new venue. Warren is a better player and should have the ability to compensate for this though and he is predicted to win in five sets.
