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."

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
