Michael van Gerwen has predicted the full 2019 PDC World Darts Championship during an episode of Darts Inside on Youtube.
The Dutchman had several surprising results in his mind for the first two rounds of the World Championship. Van Gerwen thinks that reigning world champion Rob Cross will lose his first game to Jeffrey de Zwaan. James Wade leaves the tournament after losing to Polish ace Krzysztof Ratajski in the second round.
In addition, Van Gerwen expects that one of the female competitors will win one game. The world number one predicts Anastasia Dobromyslova to beat Ryan Joyce in her opening match. Four-time ladies world champion Lisa Ashton will not be able to defeat Jan Dekker.
The two-time world champion predicted himself to win a third world-title after defeating Peter Wright on New Years' Eve. In his prediction he will beat Gary Anderson in the semi-finals, while Wright overcomes Mensur Suljovic. Simon Whitlock, Daryl Gurney, Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price reach the quarter-finals in Alexandra Palace.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
