The World Matchplay gets underway tonight in Blackpool. Michael van Gerwen will take on Brendan Dolan in the opening round.
Van Gerwen starts this PDC major as the defending champion after winning 18-14 over Gerwyn Price in the final last year. 'Mighty Mike' has previously won this tournament three times.
The 34-year-old Dutchman may no longer be the world number one, but he remains the top favourite to lift the Phil Taylor Trophy once again with another victory at the World Matchplay. Especially when looking at the statistics, Van Gerwen has reached the final at seven of the last eight majors, five of which he managed to win.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
