Updated race to the 2021 World Matchplay after UK Open

The race to the World Matchplay has been updated after the UK Open which took place this past weekend in Milton Keynes.

The showpiece event at the Winter Gardens is the next major tournament on the agenda and one that could see the return of fans in the UK which means it will be a focal point in the coming months.

Currently of course, Gerwyn Price sits at the top of the Order of Merit as World Number One and Peter Wright will provisionally join him as World Number Two with Michael van Gerwen's position under threat.

While some way back, James Wade, Rob Cross and Gary Anderson are all together in the top six.

In terms of the ProTour Order of Merit, Jonny Clayton and Devon Petersen currently lead the way with the former just outside of the Order of Merit top 16.

With another good few months, Clayton could qualify outright through the Order of Merit while Damon Heta, Mensur Suljovic and Danny Noppert round out the top five.

Callan Rydz has also put himself in an excellent position in sixth place after claiming a maiden PDC ranking title.

While Darius Labanauskas sits just inside the top sixteen alongside William O'Connor, Brendan Dolan and Dirk van Duijvenbode.

But for the likes of Steve Beaton and Adrian Lewis, they look to be missing out with the former in particular way down in both Order of Merits in terms of qualification.

While for Raymond van Barneveld, he is provisionally just outside the top 16 after returning to the tour with a title win. If another is claimed, he will likely be assured of a return to the Winter Gardens.
