Van Gerwen made pre-tournament favourite for World Grand Prix
NewsTuesday, 25 September 2018 at 10:30
The next tournament on the agenda starts this weekend in the form of the World Grand Prix and Michael van Gerwen has been installed as the pre tournament favourite.
This is no surprise given his world number one status but over the past few months Van Gerwen has struggled to reach the heights in TV tournaments. This was underlined by his recent loss in the semi-finals of the Champions League to Peter Wright.
Last year he was knocked out early by John Henderson in round one but this year he will want to put it right. He is seen as the 6/5 favourite with Gary Anderson second with 11/2.
The top few players odds wise include Peter Wright (6/1), Rob Cross (9/1) and Mensur Suljovic (18/1). Suljovic could be seen by many as a good punt due to his tendency to go late in TV tournaments.
The format is unforgiving though with Daryl Gurney, the surprise winner last year so it could end up being another surprise name from the odds below.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
