Wright sets two-time World Champion aim: "Now the challenge for me is to join greats"

Peter Wright will begin his quest for a second World Darts Championship crown when he faces off against either Ryan Meikle or Fabian Schmutzler on Friday, December 17.
Wright believes he can win it again but is glad that he could achieve his dream two years ago which he will defend this time around.
“Being World Champion is something that can never be taken away from me,” said Wright.
“Even if I never won it again, which I will, then my name would still go down in history among the greats of the game.
“From the age of 13 my dream was to become World Champion. It took me to almost the age of 50 to achieve it but the journey was worth it.
“Now the challenge for me is to join greats who have won it more than once. I’m hungry to add my name to that list.”

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
