As a footnote to this, I've watched most of the darts tournaments in recent months. Gerwyn Price, according to fellow players and pundits, is one of THE players to be reckoned with right now. Probably only Peter 'Snakebite' Wright is on par with him. There's no doubt that MVG has fallen away and he's getting beaten on a regular basis by players that he used to wipe the floor with. He's still very good of course but his previous aura of invincibility has severly diminished.
However, the top pros are so good that they are all capable of beating each other in any given game if one of them has an off day. But Gerwyn and Wright appear to be the front-runners right now with both getting insane averages in competition along with incredible finishing. If Gerwyn can maintain his form to the World Championships, he might well win it. He'll certainly start as one of the favourites - and good to see that he's calmed down a lot now and paying due respect to his opponents.
