Re: 2023 Darting Predictions
He was very solid at Q-School. Don't judge him just on Ally Pally. Considering Petersen won't be able to enter the qualifiers now he will be one of the favourites along with Carl Gabriel

And of course Losper and Carolissen, I do think there is talent in South Africa but unfortunately they never get the chance to really develop
