Michael Smith not letting another final defeat get him down in quest for Masters crown

Michael Smith lost in the final of the 2019 World Championship to Peter Wright. It was the second time he lost a final at Ally Pally. Smith is confident he will win the tournament at the Ladbrokes Masters this weekend. He spent the first few days after the world championship final off, fishing, farming and spending time with his family. His children are a driving force behind his darts career. They keep him upbeat. His eldest was crying after his defeat to Wright earlier this month. Some security people had to break up the crying. The children's faces never get upset. Their faces just smile. This is the way they keep Smith upbeat and happy.

Michael Smith is not letting another final defeat get him down in quest for Masters crown. Gerwyn Price is 4/1, Peter Wright 4-1 and Michael van Gerwen 9/2. Jonny Clayton is 13/20.

Michael Smith is 7/1 to win the Masters title.
