Peter Wright gelooft dat terugkeren naar de pijlen waarmee hij vorig jaar de finale van de World Grand Prix haalde hem gaat helpen om nog één stap verder te gaan op de BoyleSports World Grand Prix.
Wright werd vorig jaar in de finale met 5-2 verslagen door Michael van Gerwen, dit was zijn eerste finale op de World Grand Prix. Voorafgaand aan deze editie kwam hij nog nooit voorbij de kwartfinales.
Wright won in 2019 al de World Cup of Darts en de German Darts Masters. Hij begint komend weekend in Ierland tegen Max Hopp in de eerste ronde. Deze wedstrijd zal plaatsvinden op de tweede avond (maandag).
WRIGHT: "Last year I started gearing my practice to the World Grand Prix in August and I got to the final so this year I've been practicing for it since July,
I've spent hours going for tops, wearing it out almost. At the moment I'm playing well, I'm hitting plenty of double-start nine-darters in practice.
To be honest it doesn't help me changing darts all the time but I'm going to use the darts I got to the final of the World Grand Prix with last year.
I believe I can go and win all the tournaments coming up but there's some quality players out there in my way. If you don't believe you can win then you shouldn't be playing in my opinion.
Michael [van Gerwen] and Gary [Anderson] are special players but I believe I'm special too.
I've got good memories from Dublin last year when I beat Mensur [Suljovic] in the semis. This year I've got Max [Hopp] first up, he's a fantastic player but in my mind I'm playing better than anyone so it doesn't bother me who I play."
De BoyleSports World Grand Prix wordt gehouden van 6-12 oktober in het Citywest Convention Centre in Dublin, Ierland.
