Wright has previously faced Van Gerwen at this point in 2014 but this time he believes he has to the tools to be the winner.
’Snakebite’ said as well that his previous poor record against Van Gerwen in finals doesn’t matter and that ultimately he thinks it’s his time.
"I'm not going to throw it away this time. I've matured over all these years and I am ready now.
"My previous record in finals doesn't matter - this is my time."
"Michael hasn't impressed me in this tournament and I think I've played better than him," added Wright.
"I have kept my focus and got better with every game and I believe I can do anything I want.
"I knew I was going to make the final and had a set of trousers laid out for every round.”
