✨ "It's a special venue." 🎯 @Gezzyprice says he loves everything about being at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool for the Betfred World Matchplay. #WorldMatchplay | @OfficialPDC
The World Matchplay gets underway next Saturday in Blackpool. Gerwyn Price will take on Stephen Bunting in his opening match.
Price lost 18-14 to Michael van Gerwen in last year's World Matchplay final. "For me it's all about how I play on the day. I'm not afraid of anyone anymore whereas I probably was four or five years ago. I know if I play my a-game, I bring that to the table there's only one person that can win and that's me."
"Even though in the early stages of my career I didn't really do well in the Matchplay, it's one of my favourite venues. The family come up for the week, the kids are off school, it's just a special venue as well."
"It's not a very big crowd but the atmosphere is incredible," Price continues. "I like everything about Blackpool and that tournament."
