Will the same old suspects Luke Littler, Luke Humphries or Michael van Gerwen elevate the World Grand Prix, or can Jonny Clayton spring a shock on the double begin occasion?

Glen Durrant – the 2019 semi-finalist – casts his eye over the distinctive ‘double in, double out’ format.

Belgian star Mike De Decker was the shock winner in 2024, having beforehand not reached the final 4 or higher at a serious championship so will we get one other huge shock this time round?

What’s double in double out?

The World Grand Prix Darts contains a distinctive double in, double out format, requiring gamers to hit a double to begin and end every leg of the 501 recreation.

A participant should hit a double (or the bullseye) on their first dart to start scoring factors. In the event that they miss the double, they obtain no rating for that dart, and the flip continues.

To win a leg, the participant should additionally hit a double with their remaining dart.

The winner is?

A glance again at how Luke Humphries gained the World Grand Prix in 2023

You wish to be going into October within the type of your life with all the massive titles to come back and I just like the upward trajectory of Luke Humphries.

He had a monster common on the ProTour this week and he’s my choose to win it. I simply assume he does issues in the correct approach – very diligent, glorious work ethic.

He brazenly admitted he wasn’t placing as a lot time in across the relentless touring and exhibitions so he’s intelligent and cute sufficient to work out what he must do and I absolutely count on him to be again within the winner’s circle this week.

Individuals can say there may be strain because the No 1 seed and he has an extremely troublesome opener in opposition to Nathan Aspinall so he is aware of he needs to be firing on all cylinders. He additionally is aware of the best way to win this occasion – he did it in 2023 and made final 12 months’s remaining.

Who’re the darkish horses?

Jonny Clayton fired in 5 ton-plus finishes as he dominated Gerwyn Value to elevate the World Grand Prix in 2021

I’ve a sense Jonny Clayton will do nicely.

I understand how troublesome it’s if you get into your 50s and also you’re on a little bit of decline, how troublesome it’s with all these youthful gamers coming by means of, however Jonny’s type is superb.

I do not know if he has tweaked his darts or carried out one thing together with his set-up however he’s taking part in phenomenally. He’s additionally a confirmed winner.

Within the 12 months of The Ferret, in 2021, his titles included the World Grand Prix.

The underside half appears to be like extremely troublesome however he’s the title I’d search for.

One other over-50 in Gary Anderson has the stamina for this and the motivation remains to be there. He would not journey as a lot as the opposite gamers now so he could are available more energizing.

I additionally do a bit of labor with Ryan Joyce, one of the best D16 hitter on the earth. He isn’t in one of the best of type however he made the semis final 12 months and if he’s ever going to win a serious, it will likely be the World Grand Prix.

He has bought Josh Rock within the first spherical however that can be the primary spherical from final 12 months when Joyce comfortably gained 2-0 and Rock did not benefit from the transition to the double begin, wanting like a fish out of water.

How is Luke Littler wanting?

Nicholson Littler

Talking on the Love The Darts podcast, Paul Nicholson and Michael Bridge consider Luke Littler couldn’t have been handed a more durable draw within the World Grand Prix after being pitted in opposition to Gian van Veen

Gian van Veen has crushed Littler the final two occasions they’ve performed on the European Tour, one with a 110 common, so their opening-round match is a captivating one.

Gian is just not afraid of Luke as they’ve been taking part in one another since their growth days. In regular circumstances, I’d say that is an terrible draw for Luke.

With this being a double begin on the World Grand Prix it does really feel like a unique recreation however it’s actually not the draw Littler would have needed.

Barry Hearn Luke Littler

Barry Hearn discusses the expansion of darts after the PDC schedule for 2026 was launched and the influence Littler is having on the game

Luke is a genius. As a commentator, I discover myself simply saying wow on a regular basis. He’s distinctive and the overall reverse preparation-wise to what I’d do. He throws 9 darts earlier than a recreation, barely practises, however when he desires to win one thing, he wins it.

I’m not certain the motivation is all the time there for him when he goes to a ProTour or a European Tour occasion however he turned up on the Matchplay this 12 months a day earlier than and we had by no means seen something prefer it. He was on the apply board as he needed it and went on to win it.

What about Michael van Gerwen?

Highlights of the 2022 World Grand Prix remaining which noticed Michael van Gerwen win his sixth title regardless of a spirited fightback from Nathan Aspinall

Michael ended his title drought with a primary top-level match win in two years on the World Sequence Finals and that will probably be a giant weight off his shoulders.

Van Gerwen supporters ought to be getting excited and he’s a six-time winner of the World Grand Prix.

He can’t look previous his first match in opposition to Dirk van Duijvenbode however I like his manner on the oche and he appears to have the bit between his tooth.

I feel he has knuckled down and he appears glad in his private life proper now. Like he all the time says, when he performs his A-game, he’s nonetheless one of the best on the earth.

How a lot have you ever loved James Wade’s resurgence this 12 months?

It has been nice. I’ve nice admiration for him proper now. Longevity within the PDC is so troublesome and he’s in his third decade and nearly as good as he has ever been. He should be a shoo-in for the Premier League subsequent 12 months after his type this season.

If you start with a double begin as we do on the Grand Prix, he has to come back into the equation. He and Littler are one of the best tops and 10s hitters on the earth.

World Grand Prix Darts explainer

We take a deep dive into the World Grand Prix. What’s it? The place did it come from? And why is hated by so many gamers? 

I feel it favours the gamers who go for double high as a result of you have got that transition from D16 to T20.

In case you hit D16 that’s 32 factors and you’re leaving a 9 on the tip so gamers will go from D16 all the way down to the 19s.

Humphries is a confirmed winner from the D16s however I bear in mind 11-time winner Phil Taylor telling me to be taught beginning on tops.
