“I just want to keep riding this wave for as long as I can,” said Smith.
“When I won the World Championship, I said: ‘I’m World Champion and world number one. I’ve completed darts’ but I haven’t.
“It feels amazing being the world number one and the best player in the world, so I want to keep that feeling for as long as I can.
“I would love to win this title for the first time, but it will be really tough against Ross or Damon, so I’m just taking it game by game.”
