Wright reacts after defeating Van Gerwen to win 2020 PDC World Championship: “I can’t quite believe it”

Peter Wright came into the 2020 PDC World Championship Final with a potential point to prove especially with his previous record against Michael van Gerwen but despite that, he claimed a stunning 7-3 victory.

Wright will now look back on a tournament where he achieved his darting dreams and he was in disbelief after becoming World Champion.

He heaped praise on Van Gerwen but as he started pre match it was his time and he added that all the tinkering with his darts all paid off for him.

"I can't quite believe it," said Wright.

"I thought about giving up before I reached the final six years ago but this shows that you should never give up on your dreams.

"Michael is an excellent champion and deserves everything he has won but it was my turn and it feels brilliant.

"I've worked so hard on finding the right darts, the right throw and the right mentality and it all came together at the right time.

"I am really proud of myself and really grateful for everybody that has helped me become World Champion."
