How The World Darts Rankings Have Changed Following The Grand Prix

[@damianleah6744]

Well that was a brilliant result for de deker. Excellent especially against Luke.

[@BlueHopi144]

Phenomenal result !! i was waiting for him to Pierce through one day & he did it with fashion !! What a player

[@chibifirestorm]

i really enjoy the double in, set play format. Makes the tournament refreshing

[@SWJ_]

Really like what I saw this week from De Decker. The sooner he replaces Van Den Bergh as Belgium no.1 the better. Can’t stand DvdB since he changed his style. He looks like he’s in some kind of trance on stage, very strange man.

[@Krazy1992]

Would guess he is under influence ngl

[@antoinettelabuschagne6044]

Thanks for this Matthew

[@campbellallan7157]

its mental how humphries has almost won 2million from darts in just 2 years

[@RyanLucroy]

If you consider the fact he has a WC 3rd round from two years ago (with "just" 35k), that's even more impressive

[@vojtechnovacek7776]

Yeah, and in provisional standing after WC (so counting money won since the start of 2023) Humphries has over 1.6 million while MVG in 2nd has just under 600k. That's a difference of more than a million.

[@AlexxHayes]

Also, this is prize money only. Think about sponsors and equipment sold under his name. He is over 2 million.

[@liamanderson6191]

And that’s just for ranked events

[@davebesag]

@@RyanLucroy I never would have seen this after he lost to Paul Lim in the first round of the Worlds in December 2021.

[@stephanfischer8239]

Chizzy must step up in a major on the floor he be unstopable but the Majors are his big threat hope he can have a long run in one of those

[@videosmurf]

According to Ryan Joyce, he's not back to top 32 because he said this is his first time at that level. It has also been a goal of his this year.

[@charliesmith6739]

Big up De Decker

[@countbasiethebicyclemessen4321]

De Decker beat Damon Heta in his opener. De Decker winning the event knocks Damon Heta out of the Grand Slam... for now, though Heta could get back in with a win the Players Championships this week or in Prague next weekend. Chris Dobey now the "Tail-end Charlie" in the Grand Slam provisional field. A win in Prague for someone not yet qualified will put Dobey out.

[@videosmurf]

Just as predicted😊 well I actually had 6-5 Decker but a win for Mike

[@darrenyaxley4364]

What are your thoughts towards the worlds….. can Humphries defend or is there outsider who can take it? Not looking at Luke Litter but possibly Gary Anderson ? James Wade ? Your thoughts mate

[@M30038]

What a player De Decker is! But he's not in my PL 8 for now though. My 8 names are: Humphries Littler MVG, Cross Chisnall Bunting Heta Dobey Thoughts Matt?

[@jerejere809]

I think on player from Belgium will be in

[@anthonymatute6057]

@@jerejere809Most likely that player will be Van Den Berg 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

[@Liasos88]

@@anthonymatute6057 But the Premier League is a show and nobody wants to watch Dimitri's awfully slow playstyle, he isn't popular anymore.

[@SWJ_]

Not sure about Heta. I’d rather see a Michael Smith, Jonny Clayton or Ross Smith in there.

[@tantona9315]

@@SWJ_ Which of those two Michael Smith's is better though? :)

[@andrewkistell4446]

De decker over dimi for premier league, just because he is definitely nicer to watch than dimi

[@stokepokerchat]

John part won Las Vegas Darts classic that was on Sky and not in premier that followed

[@voodoo2444]

Matt, Ryan Searle could have easily already be in the top 16. He's had the opportunities. Will he be in top 16 after the worlds Matt? I sincerely hope so.

[@bagingmachine]

Littler needs to pull his finger out to get into the top 16 and stop getting eliminated in the first round of majors.He's been brilliant in non ranked tournaments but disappointing in the ranking ones.

[@mikaeljensen7602]

Matt, does Peter Wright have that much to defend for the rest of the year? Shouldn't he be able to stay in the top 16 ?

[@ryanwilkinson7991]

Matt, Chizzy is 3/1 to be in the premier league i think that's great value thoughts?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Agree 👍

[@chrisoconnor8392]

It is what it is

[@omgHeadshots]

Got him to win and most 180’s at 5/1, should have backed biggest checkout, would have been a mega bet

[@countbasiethebicyclemessen4321]

He was 4/1 to win the match with almost all the bookies. He was 150/1 for the tournament on Monday morning.

[@justinress2782]

But how many Mayor Winners ended their season outside the Top 20? Unless he can put in a couple of Semifinals or another title under his belt this season, I can not see him in the PL next season.

[@anastasiosjohn3307]

Why the long face?

[@powerglory4022]

The top ten will see big changes. Ross Smith is world number nine but loses £100k in two weeks if he doesn’t win the Euro title.

[@M30038]

Will be out of the top 16 after the Euros but is very likely to come back there sooner rather than later

[@jmaros15]

👍👍

[@LOLMAN9538]

De Decker for sure is getting into the top 32.

[@Antwonio9]
