World Grand Prix

[Fader]

The Grand Prix gets underway tomorrow with the winner netting £110k. Tournament is a week long event, in Leicester and has the top 16 PDC (order of merit) along with the 16 qualifiers based on the ProTour rankings. Top 8 in the Order of Merit will be seeded for this.

Ofcourse the big thing here is that you'll need a double to begin and so anybody who struggles with doubles is never winning this event.

Price is going to be a big favourite here and he won this last year and has the 2nd highest checkout percentage in the last few years (2nd to Dave Chisnall believe it or not) Clayton, Clemens and Peter Wright make up the top 5 in that regard but Cullen and Humphries is also in the top 8. In terms of averages, MVG is actually top over the last couple of years. Ian White is an interesting one, sitting in 3rd.

The two I like are Suljovic to continue his good form and Humphries, of whom I really rate as a player. I also will continue to back Smith and Rydz as outsiders as they are so talented. I'll take a punt on Dolan and Aspinall based on recent form.

I'll take just the one tonight and that's Mensur to beat Chisnall. You wouldn't really have Chizzy down as a good finisher and more of a scorer but he has done well over the last few years and holds the best checkout %. However, I think his consistency in hitting those doubles against Suljovic who will just go D14 with every single start to wear him down. If Chizzy struggles to hit his doubles then he loses here and Sulijovic also has the better form after making back-to-back finals with both Austria at the World Cup and on his own last week.

4pts M.Suljovic to beat D.Chisnall 5/4 paddypower
2pts Suljovic, Wade, Price & Ross Smith to win 12/1 paddypower (1 loses, money back)
