"I’d like to be world number one before we go into the World Championship": Wright sets main aim heading into Grand Slam of Darts

Peter Wright has the Grand Slam of Darts in his sights as well as a certain world ranking which he will look to reclaim heading into the World Championship.

Wright has gone back and forth with Gerwyn Price in pursuit of the World Number One spot and wants to firm that up before heading to the Alexandra Palace. He starts by facing Fallon Sherrock later.

“It would be really nice to add this title to my collection,” said Wright.

“It’s a really tough group. Nathan has been one of the best players on tour this year, Alan has a brilliant record against me, and Fallon will be determined after performing so well last year.

“I’d like to be world number one before we go into the World Championship and that will be going through my head, but I’ve got to take each game as it comes.”
