THE PREDICTION
It has been a few years since Simon Whitlock reached the quarter-finals at the PDC World Championship but the Australian certainly has enough reasons to believe that he is capable of going deep into the tournament on this occasion. The Wizard has produced excellent performances in some of the major ranking events this season and with three wins against Michael van Gerwen under his belt on the big stage in 2020 he will rightfully fear nobody. A tricky second round tie against Darius Labanauskas is Whitlock’s first obstacle and the number 18 seed will need to sharp from the off against a player who reached the quarter-finals here 12 months ago. The confidence and motivation that Whitlock has displayed this year makes one believe that he will rise to the challenge and claim victory in what should be a fascinating contest.
