Peter Wright's Problems at the Tournament in Antwerp

He failed to convert six out of seven doubles, which significantly affected his game.
It is also worth noting that Wright has not won any significant trophy since 2023 when he became the champion at the European Championship.
Glen Durrant's Comments
Former Premier League champion Glen Durrant expressed concern that Wright understands — his best times might be behind him.
“I think he knows deep down that his game is not at its best right now,” he said.
“I was hoping the big stage would motivate him. But it was a disappointment.”
“I used to be in awe of him when he believed in his win at this year's tournament.”
“But his performances are far from what they could be.”
“It just doesn't look like Peter Wright.”
Wright has not advanced beyond the fourth round in any of the three major tournaments this year.
Recently, he was eliminated in the first round of the World Matchplay.
At the 2025 World Championships, Wright eliminated the reigning champion Luke Humphries in the fourth round, but lost the next match to Stephen Bunting.
Additionally, 'Snackbite' did not qualify for the Premier League for the first time in 11 years.
Peter Wright's results are causing concern among darts fans. His performances in tournaments show that the famous player is facing serious difficulties, and future events may determine his place in the world of darts. Will he find the strength to return to the game, or will his path in elite sports become increasingly difficult? Time will tell.Read also
