Phil Taylor has insisted that he will have to play well if he is to beat Scott Waites during the group stages of the Grand Slam of Darts.
The 15-time world champion has been drawn in a group alongside Waites, Mark Webster and Co Stompe, but it is the match with former Grand Slam winner Waites that will be eagerly anticipated.
"There's a few different faces in there with the BDO players, and you don't get to play guys like Scott Waites very often so it's a different challenge," Sky Sports News quotes Taylor as saying.
"I'll play Scott again in the groups and he's done really well since we played a few years ago in the final, winning the Grand Slam and the World Masters, so I'll have to be on top of my game."
Taylor beat Gary Anderson 16-4 in last year's final.
