Gerwyn Price will head into the defence of his PDC World Darts Championship crown on Wednesday evening when he takes on either Ritchie Edhouse or Peter Hudson in the last game of the session.
Price as ever is in a confident mood ahead of the tournament and believes come January 3 that the title will be his once more.
“I’m looking forward to John McDonald announcing me as reigning and defending champion in front of fans,” said Price.
“To be part of a small number of players who are back-to-back World Champions would be special.
“I’ve done it before at the Grand Slam and on the European Tour, so I seem to perform well when that sort of pressure is put on me.
“I’ve become a lot more confident and believe I’m the rightful world number one and World Champion. If somebody plays well against me, I find that extra gear. It’s good to know I’ve got an A game to beat anyone.
“I believe 100% that I can win it. I am going to win it."
