It is three finals on the trot I&#8217;ve lost. I&#8217;m ready for the Worlds now. I am going to win the Worlds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I am declaring war on him. I&#8217;m playing good. Tiredness just crept in at the end there. We&#8217;re going to go to war at the World Championships, we&#8217;ll see who is the one there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8216;I said to him he deserves everything he gets. He&#8217;s a massive advocate for darts. I&#8217;ve never really felt like world number one, I&#8217;ve never felt like I&#8217;ve got the attention I deserve. He&#8217;s such an incredible player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Do you feel like you two are in a league of your own: &#8220;Yeah, I do. I don&#8217;t feel arrogant saying that. What can us two do? We&#8217;re on opposite sides of the draw and people can stop us. I am trying to stop him and I can&#8217;t. It is up to everyone else to stop us. At the moment us two are playing a level of this sport that is better than everyone else. I want to play another world final against him.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;I&#8217;m going to win the Worlds &#8211; we&#8217;ll see who is the one there&#8217;published at 20:40 GMT 16&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-144011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
