Not really a shocking downfall, rather a slow, but consistent downturn in form over a matter of years. Would be a shame to see Mensur fall off the tour but I could definitely see him doing well on the Seniors tour
Yes - nothing "shocking" about it - just a normal decline, possibly just due to age and maybe some injury problems. I hope Mensur manages to remain on tour and regains some form, because he's a great character and a nice bloke.
You might be interested. Peter wright changed more than his darts at the tournament last weekend. He changed his grip! Go back and watch. Very concerning if you are Snakebite fan.
Darts is such a volatile game, all these top players are like 3 good placements in majors away from ranking among the greats. but if you have injuries, dartitis, other health problems or even just a rough patch of form or a streak of bad luck. your back in Q school before you know it. Consistency is key thats why players like MvG, anderson, wade etc deserve all the respect in my opinion.
