Livingston-born world champion Peter Wright is bidding for a second straight World Matchplay title this weekend.
The 51-year-old ‘Snakebite’ lifted the trophy for the primary time final yr and will likely be eager to repeat that feat and switch round what has been a largely irritating season.
Regardless of sitting no.1 on the planet rankings for the primary time in his profession, Wright has struggled for consistency since lifting his second PDC World Championship title in January and failed to succeed in the play-offs on this yr’s Premier League Darts.
The flamboyant ace will get his bid for silverware underway on Saturday evening when he faces Latvian debutant Madars Razma.
The ultimate of the occasion, which is being proven dwell on Sky Sports activities, is Sunday, July 24.
