He has also said he wants to win as many titles as possible; and wants to take the title off Peter Wright. “I’m really looking forward to playing in this tournament in front of such a huge crowd,” said Van Gerwen who is aiming to claim one of the only World Series titles he has never won. He continued: “I love playing in the World Series and I am focused on winning as many titles as I can this year starting with this one – I want to take the title off Peter.”
