WDC 2023
Game Of The Day –
Mensur Suljovic @1/1 vs Mike de Decker
Suljovic, current world #30, is 50 years old. Been a PDC tour card holder since 2007. He has 2 televised titles, 5 non-televised titles, and has reached the world championship last 16 three times (‘11, ‘16, ‘18). He is a wiley veteran who plays with a slow pace and unusual throwing mechanics. He’s played in the Premier League (2019), a league-style event for the world’s best players each year. And he has 1 significant title to his name (2017 Champions League of Darts) which paid him 250k for first.
De Decker, current world #57, is 27 years old. Won his PDC tour card in 2014, though lost it for two years, winning it back in 2020. He has 0 televised titles, 0 non-televised titles, and his best finish at worlds is the final 64 (‘22 & ‘23). He is a young up-n-comer, who has been improving each year, and he flouts fairly standard throwing mechanics. Never been in the premier league and never made it past the final 32 at any major tournament.
We also know the winner of this match faces world #3 Michael van Gerwen, who is probably the 2nd most decorated dart player in history aside from Phil “The Power” Taylor.
In his first match against Jeff Smith, de Decker posted a scoring average of 88.56 with a 50% checkout percentage on doubles. Very solid on doubles, but that scoring average leaved him vulnerable. We think Mensur has a slight edge when it comes to scoring, and expect him to average between 90-100.
