Wright on missing World Number One chance in International Darts Open final: “I know it won't just be given to me”

Peter Wright lost out in the final of the International Darts Open 8-4 to Gerwyn Price and as a result, his wait to become World Number One goes on.
Wright will likely now have to wait until at least the UK Open to seal it and speaking afterwards he admitted he wants to fight for it, he doesn’t want to be handed it.
"I've got to fight to become world number one, I know it won't just be given to me," said Wright.
"Gerwyn showed tonight why he is world number one and a former World Champion; he never gives up, he always fights."But I'm after him, and hopefully I can do enough over the next few weeks."

- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025

- If Wade had done that to Beau or Fallon or another female it would be deservedly claimed as sexual assault. Wade has always been odd and his interviews are so cringe worthy. I have a feeling if you asked Helen Chamberlain she would set alarm bells ringing with her storiesrichieburnettrocks05-03-2025

- It is not that bad a hair style, Littler has terrible hair but Rydz has some kind of bird nest gaffer taped to his head, absolutely dreadful.richieburnettrocks04-03-2025
- I have known Gemma for many years and can't believe she has never played at the World Championship, very talented and showed lots of potential. Her girlfriend Stephanie Smee made the World Championship semi final but just seemed to disappear and she was excellent that year, very unlucky to have been beaten by Anastasia. Hope Gemma will make it this year.richieburnettrocks03-03-2025

- It was great to watch Beau play so well against the world number 1. She has a very calm, poised way of playing, and might have won that game had she not tired in the last stretch.

- Thornton beating Taylor just beats out Gilding beating MVG for me. Taylor was at his peak and played well in the final, Thornton on the day was simply the better player, no luck just outplayed Taylor.Mysstree24-02-2025
