Emma Patton in recent years he has regularly presented darts programs on Sky Sports. The Englishwoman is therefore well prepared to anticipate upcoming events PDC World Darts Championships.
When it comes to who will be the world champion, Paton doesn’t have to think long. “He is my winner Łukasz Małyr! Sorry Luke HumphriesI’m a big fan of Cool Hand, but this time I’m going with Littler. He has been outstanding this year, winning 10 titles, and has come quite close in other events such as the Players Championship finals. That’s why I’m betting on Lithuania. This time he will go one step further and lift the Sid Waddell trophy,” predicts Paton Heavenly sports.
What about surprise packages? “Chris Dobey,” Paton chooses. “He was great on the court this year, won three Pro Tour titles, and while things weren’t great on the big TV stage, why not at the biggest tournament in history. I think the third quarter is also full of real opportunities.”
Traditionally, many seeds always fall early at Alexandra Palace. When it comes to who is most at risk this year, Paton has a few names in mind. “Joe Cullen, who could stand up Wessel Nijman. I think so too James Wade. He’s had a few early departures over the last few years and he might as well face it Jermaine Watttimenthis year’s finalist of the European Championships.”

Traditionally, we take part in walks. “Yes, we all love Mr. Brightside, but I’m not going to say it Nathan Aspinall this time. I’ll say Titan, Stephen Bunting“
And finally, Paton also has one match he’s particularly looking forward to. “Pretty obvious, but Ryan Meiklewho has been in excellent form lately, in the match against Fallon SherrockQueen of the Palace and the only woman to ever win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship.”
