Peter Wright has been in imperious form over the past two weeks winning three titles in five days and being on a 19 match unbeaten streak after taking out Vincent van der Voort in Round One of the World Matchplay.
Wright spoke afterwards about how this time around in Blackpool he feels great after previously feeling tired and fatigued in previous editions.
He added in a statement befitting of his form that in his opinion, whoever he plays will have to be playing well to beat him otherwise they will be going home.
"I had to play really well because Vincent was fantastic," said Wright, who posted the highest winning average of round one.
"It's about time I come into this tournament feeling good, I normally come into it feeling tired and its felt like hard work. This time I'm feeling nice and fresh.
"Whoever I play in this tournament will have to play well, otherwise they're going home."

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
