Gary Anderson hopes to complete a hat-trick of title wins at the World Darts Championship after defeating Adrian Lewis in Sunday's final.
The 45-year-old Scot became only the fourth player to successfully defend his first world title when he completed a 7-5 win at Alexandra Palace.
A third straight success would see Anderson join the likes of Phil Taylor and Eric Bristow, who picked up a treble of trophy wins during their dominant reigns.
But Anderson admits he faces fierce competition from a strong field of rivals.
The youngsters are starting to push us to play really well all the time. It's constant pressure against them and it's just great.
Asked about a hat-trick, Anderson told Sky Sports News HQ: "Oh definitely, but it's just getting so hard.
"To win it once, great. To win it twice, great, but to win it three times with the talent of Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor, Ady Lewis and all the youngsters like Michael Smith and Keegan Brown... it's very hard.
"The youngsters are starting to push us to play really well all the time. It's constant pressure against them and it's just great. We've got to try battling against the youngsters now. The motivation will be there 190 per cent next year."
Anderson appeared to lose count of his scoring during the final, but insisted this blunder was due to a loss of concentration rather than any problems with his vision.
"It wasn't the eyesight, I just think the brain wasn't ticking over too good," he said.
"Listening to the crowd, watching Ady's throw, trying to work out scores. I've just lost myself on the dart board. It was nothing to do with the eyesight."
