Wayne Mardle has given his prediction ahead of the 2020 PDC World Championship Final between Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright which will begin shortly.
Mardle says that while he isn't saying Wright will win, he has to believe that this is his best chance to claim victory and he doesn't believe that Van Gerwen is playing well in the slightest going into the tournament.
"I just think that Peter Wright will feel as good about this final as any other final he's gone into against Michael van Gerwen. It has to be. He has to look at Michael and think 'right, you said you wanted to be pushed because no one was really pushing you' and when he has been pushed, he hasn't found any gears at all. There's no point in producing a 110 average set once, because Peter can cope with that," said Mardle to Sky Sports.
"I'm not saying that Peter Wright is going to beat him in the final. I think Peter has to believe this has to be the best chance. When are we going to say Michael is not playing well, rather than he's going to play well? Well, he's not playing well. He's had one good game."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
