Mardle believes that the two players it will suit are Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen - the former due to him not dwelling on defeat and the latter due to him being 'difficult to beat'.

"I thought it was really interesting what Gerwyn Price said: 'I'm going to use it as practice.' The thing with Price, unlike a lot of the others, he doesn't take defeat to heart," said Mardle to Sky Sports.

"He really doesn't care. I don't mean that he couldn't care whether he wins or loses, but he doesn't dwell on defeats and I think it will suit him, because you probably will get beaten at some stage over the 10 nights coming up."

"I've made my mind up that Michael van Gerwen is going to run riot, not through averaging 110 every game, but just by being difficult to beat," he continued.

"Peter Wright - I cannot work out. There was an 83 average against Gerwyn Price [Week Four] and the very next week he averaged 110 against Nathan Aspinall.

Nobody in the world can say 'he has had a bad game so he's going to have a great game', it doesn't work that way, the guys are not robots.

The match practice these guys are going to get is going to be invaluable when it comes to those big, big majors and the Players Championship events as well. Good luck to them all. I'm really looking forward to the next two weeks."
