Peter Wright claimed victory against Simon Whitlock in a dominant display and as a result he continues his unbeaten run to 20 matches.
As a result he joins an elite list of players who have won this amount of games in a row as well. Phil Taylor is the first back in 1997; the feat was next achieved in 2007 by Raymond van Barneveld.
Michael van Gerwen was next in 2013 and then Gary Anderson was the last one back in 2015. Wright's 20 matches have included three title wins in five days last week and since then he has shown world class form also at the World Matchplay.
Will 'Snakebite' continue his form and take the World Matchplay title come the end of the week?

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
