Woodhouse Luke vs Aspinall Nathan preview
Luke Woodhouse faces Nathan Aspinall in the second round of the 2026 World Grand Prix on September 30, 2026, at 21:15 UTC. Woodhouse enters this last-16 encounter following a significant first-round victory over the defending champion and world number one, Luke Littler. By securing a 2-1 set win against the teenager, Woodhouse now aims to reach his first-ever World Grand Prix quarter-final.
Nathan Aspinall advanced to this stage after surviving a challenging opening match against Kevin Doets.
