Justin Pipe

JUSTIN was a Wildcard Qualifier for last year's Grand Slam of Darts - losing all three groups games against James Wade, Vincent van der Voort and Tony O'Shea - but his progress since saw him win a spot in the 2011 Grand Slam through the Players Championship Order of Merit.

Since making his World Championship debut in December, Pipe reached four ProTour semi-finals before reaching his first final in October - defeating Phil Taylor to win a Players Championship in Dublin.

He has also defeated Gary Anderson and van der Voort in finals since to claim a hat-trick of victories inside seven events and break into the world's top 32, adding to appearances in all of the PDC's televised ranking tournaments during 2011.
