Wright no longer sees a dominant player in darts: "There are more and more players who can put pressure on"

For a long time Phil Taylor stood out well above the competition, then Michael van Gerwen took over that role for a few years. However, according to reigning world champion Peter Wright, there are currently more and more players who can reach an equivalent level.

Wright won the World Championship at the beginning of this year and immediately claimed £ 500,000. "Well, money is not important, but the best players in the world I can beat. That's what I do it for", said Wright to RTL 7.

"At the moment, however, there is no one above it," continues 'Snakebite'. "Van Gerwen has taken over the role of Taylor for a few years, but now there are more and more players who can put pressure on him, he has not been used to that for a long time. The level has risen very quickly in recent years, you also notice that in the floor tournaments. "
