"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."

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
