"But we are only in the Quarter-Finals": Wayne Mardle sees open nature of World Grand Prix as 'massive opportunity'

Friday night, the quarter-finals of the World Grand Prix are on the schedule. Only four players from the top-10 of the world rankings managed to make it to the last eight.
Top favourite Michael van Gerwen was eliminated in the second round, while outsiders Nathan Aspinall, Dave Chisnall and Gary Anderson are also already out of the tournament.
Top players Michael Smith, Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries did get through the first two rounds. Pundit and commentator Wayne Mardle expects an open battle for the title in Leicester in the coming days.
''I feel it's an open competition but if you're off, you're going to get beat. Gilding has not played well at all but he's done the right things at the right times. He's going to be a handful for anyone, even if he gets through.''
"All of them will be thinking this is a massive opportunity to reach a major final. But we are only in the Quarter-Finals, there are three more games to win so they are not even halfway there yet. There's a long way to go."
