Greaves wouldn't have queued to try and get Littler Netflix clash!

BEAU GREAVES admits says she wouldn’t have wanted to queue up to try and face Luke Littler in his Netflix show!

The Doncaster star takes on The Nuke in a blockbuster opening Grand Slam Group A clash in Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon.

It’s been dubbed the ‘Group of Death’ which also contains on-form Niels Zonneveld as Littler aims to remain unbeaten on that stage after 14 straight wins.

Greaves, 22, is ready to take on the World Champion but reckons she wouldn’t have had the patience to go for the Netflix £501,000 in Beat Luke Litter show, won by her rival Fallon Sherrock.

She revealed: “To be honest I don’t think I would have wanted to queue up.

“I saw all the queues outside the auditions, I don’t think I could have coped with it.

“I did watch it, it was a good watch and a bit different. I don’t regret it, I’d take my tour card every day than wait in the cold.

“I was expecting not as decent players in the line-up. I think a lot of us felt it would be purely pub players. But again it is a show.

“It was interesting to see Luke not smash everyone. He maybe felt it a little bit. It was a different thing to play in that, not playing a normal game.”

It’s the second year in succession Greaves has been drawn in the ‘Group of Death’. In the last Slam she faced Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson, losing both 5-4 with over a 100 average.

She added: “I feeling good and excited, I’ve had a decent year.

“Obviously I’ve thought about it a little bit. I’m excited more than anything. It should be good fun.

“I don’t see it as a bad group. I need to play really well to do well in the group.

“It’s always a challenge playing the standard we are. I’m going into it with a positive mindset.

“I played decent at the Grand Slam last year. I have good moments but I just don’t do it consistently enough. It’s something I’m going to have to get better at.

“It’s just a working progress at the minute. I’m just trying to look forward to everything instead of dreading anything.

“I know I can play well on the stage. But it’s about not worrying about it before I get on there.

“I’m not obviously as relaxed as Luke when I play him. At the end of the day, it’s just a game. He’s the best in the world and I’m going to have to play really well.

“I look at last year as a positive because I did play well. I was in a different mindset last year I didn’t have a tour card.

“I hadn’t played on the tour all year. I’m feeling a bit more calm now because I’ve been getting smashed up every week on the ProTour. I get used to getting beat. It’s a different feeling now."
