Wright will want to go one better than last year where he lost in the final of the
World Matchplay to Phil Taylor.
After his victory, ‘Snakebite’ said that he felt comfortable and that he felt focused against the Belgian.
On his next match with Simon Whitlock, he said that they are good friends but when they lock horns he is the enemy.
"I felt comfortable and I felt focused - I'm happy with how I played," said Wright.
"In my next game it will be tough because Simon is a good friend but when we get up on stage I will have to treat him as the enemy. He is fantastic though and he's playing really good darts at the moment."
