2019 PDC World Grand Prix (Oct 6-12)

[JH01]

Shame about Dimitri.

[Rogg]

The draw for the 2019 BoyleSports World Grand Prix will take place on Friday September 27 at 0930 BST and will be shown on Facebook Live through the PDC's Official Facebook Page.

Very sensible.

[The Thorn]

Draw today. In fact should have started 10 minutes ago on Facebook.

[JH01]

I think it's starting, not that the stream is working. At least for me.

[Emulsfier]

(1) Michael van Gerwen v Jamie Hughes
Jeffrey de Zwaan v Steve Beaton
(8) James Wade v John Henderson
Mervyn King v Dimitri Van den Bergh
(5) Michael Smith v Simon Whitlock
Joe Cullen v Ian White
(4) Gary Anderson v Keegan Brown
Ricky Evans v Chris Dobey
(2) Rob Cross v Mensur Suljovic
Glen Durrant v Krzysztof Ratajski
(7) Peter Wright v Max Hopp
Adrian Lewis v Jermaine Wattimena
(6) Gerwyn Price v Dave Chisnall
Stephen Bunting v Jonny Clayton
(3) Daryl Gurney v Danny Noppert
Vincent van der Voort v Nathan Aspinall

[The Thorn]

Couldn't have been much tougher for MVG and Cross.

[Emulsfier]

Cant say baldie will have it easy. Hughes then Jeff then Wade would be a real arseache start.

Cross v Mensur and Price v Chisnall are mad first round games.

Lol at White v Cullen again. Cant do worse than last time.

Looking at the full draw, seems ripe for something interesting to happen and someone to make a name for themselves.

[Fiss Plaps]

Is there a single "bad" match there in that draw? Absolutely lethal.

Tough draw for Mensur, but he's got a good TV record against Cross so I'm sure this newly confident Mensur will be looking forward to it. Basically as clear a path to the quarters as Dimitri could have asked for, not that it's going to be easy, but back on the TV I don't think anyone will fancy playing him

Lewis v Watt has potential to be super dire. Apart from that looks like really good shit.

Knowing Cullen, he'll probably be whitewashed without scoring a single point!

[Captain Hobo]

I'm tipping a 3rd straight 2-0 defeat for VOLTAGE.

[Malanax]

Decent draw for dobey Evans not known for his reliable doubling

[Randall]

If his lordship loses to beaton I will cry

what i think

Lewis v Watt has potential to be super dire. Apart from that looks like really good shit.

It also has the potential to be super excellent. The pace should be good and they are just as likely to both be on as they are off. For me really is a flip of the coin on good or bad match. Other than that looks good and is really going to come down who hints doubles to start and finish.

Just call me captain obvious.

[SuperSwede]

The Gary Anderson quarter of the draw looks wide open for an outsider to make a run to a semi final spot and a decent chance MVG is taken out for them by the time they get there.

You haven't seen too much of Lewis recently, he's been shite every single time. And Wattimena is even worse so...

[Fiss Plaps]

Schedule.

[M H]

First round has to be the most brutal format in darts, a real leveller and as unpredictable as it gets
