Mardle predicts potential World Matchplay Final: “I see James or Mensur in the final, probably against Gary or Michael”

The World Matchplay is coming up thick and fast with the tournament getting underway on Saturday from the historic Winter Gardens. Wayne Mardle has given his thoughts to Sky Sports ahead of the tournament beginning including on who he thinks could reach the final.

For him he has gone for a player who is a former World Matchplay champion returning to imperious form in the form of James Wade. Either that or Mensur Suljovic who recently claimed a second TV title and a first on the World Series. ‘Hawaii 501’ predicts that it will be against either Gary Anderson or Michael van Gerwen with him ruling out Rob Cross or Peter Wright due to consistency. “I think the tried and tested will rule the day here, whoever it may be. I just don't see a first-time major winner just cropping up and winning it.” “From my personal point of view, I see James or Mensur in the final, probably against Gary or Michael, but James and Mensur have got to love their section of the draw.” “No disrespect to Peter Wright or Rob Cross here, I just think they are showing inconsistencies, Peter definitely is.” “When Rob is on he has got that relentless nature that I keep mentioning wins this, but so has Mensur and so has James Wade.” “I can't ever think that Gary or Michael are not going to come through a half, because we all know if they turn up and play their game they win.”
