    The World Grand Prix gets under way next Monday. It's been held in Leicester instead of the Citywest this year and I suspect it won't be coming to Citywest again.

    The draw has been made:

    2021 BoyleSports World Grand Prix

    Draw Bracket

    1. (1) Gerwyn Price v Michael Smith
    2. Martijn Kleermaker v Mervyn King
    3. (8) Dave Chisnall v Mensur Suljovic
    4. Joe Cullen v Ross Smith
    5. (4) James Wade v Damon Heta
    6. Stephen Bunting v Daryl Gurney
    7. (5) Dimitri Van den Bergh v Ryan Searle
    8. Dirk van Duijvenbode v Luke Humphries
    9. (2) Peter Wright v Rob Cross
    10. Nathan Aspinall v Krzysztof Ratajski
    11. (7) Jose de Sousa v Glen Durrant
    12. Callan Rydz v Jonny Clayton
    13. (3) Michael van Gerwen v Danny Noppert
    14. Vincent van der Voort v Gabriel Clemens
    15. (6) Gary Anderson v Ian White
    16. Darius Labanauskas v Brendan Dolan

    Some great first round matches with the standout match for me being Price v Michael Smith. Notable player missing is Adrian Lewis as he continues to tumble down the rankings.

    Price v Smith the standout tie. Heta and Wade is another good one, I can see Humphries beating DVD

    It starts Sunday not Monday I think ?

    Didn't realise Durrant qualified for this, he should withdraw really and probably retire.

    Hard to get used to this not been in Dublin

    I imagine it's only a one year deal and it will be back in CityWest for 2022. If its gone permanently from Dublin could we get some of sort of new European major in its place ?

    Not in the Citywest. The venue is poor because it's so hard get to and especially home from. The attendances have been terrible the last few times it was played there.

    Maybe the tournament will be moved back to the Citywest but only if they are paying the PDC to hold it there.

    Jose De Sousa 4/6 to win 2-0 in sets. Free money.

    Durrant 300/1 that's how far he's fallen. Wonder if Dolan might go on another run this year Double in/Double out makes a bit of a difference

    Enjoyed that Wade/Heta game.

    Wade goes from the sublime to the ridiculous even couple of throws!

    Poor game there with White and Ando. White just had a better double start % than Ando 27% to 41%. Highest out only 58

    No messing from Cross in set 1. Two lovely ton 80s at critical times. Wonder if there's a breeze there tonight, as there's been quite a few wayward darts so far, not least Wrighty hitting the big 7 in the last leg..

    This always throws up some strange results.

    Has some of the most bizarre quarter final line ups in PDC history.
