Daryl Gurney claimed his first major title a year ago defeating Simon Whitlock to win the World Grand Prix.
One year on and Gurney is back to defend his title and for him he can’t believe it’s been a year since his win.
He also spoke about his opponent this time around John Henderson, who he beat in the semi-finals last year. ‘Superchin’ sees him as a big threat.
"I can't believe it's been a year since I won it," Gurney admitted.
"It was such a special night and a memory I will never forget but now I am focused only on the here and now, and that means defending my title.
"I know it will be a tough test against John, of course he beat Michael [van Gerwen] here in the first round last year but he also beat Raymond van Barneveld so he will be a big threat. Hopefully I will play my best game and get off to a good start."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
