No, Gerwyn Price is not the most beloved darts player of the pack. It is not the first time that the Welshman has been booed by the crowd. Tonight was no different during the walk-on for the match against Ritchie Edhouse.
The venomous attitude of the crowd also seemed to creep into his head for a moment, as Price wasn’t quite there at the start of the match. Or was it the pressure of the world title that paralyzed him somewhat?
Despite the cheers, Price fought his way back into the game to gradually gain confidence and strike hard in the final set. He finished 2 times in quick succession with an impressive 130 score. Price flexed his muscles and roared like a lion.
In the next round, our compatriot Kim Huybrechts or upcoming talent in the women’s Fallon Sherrock awaits. But he doesn’t care who his opponent becomes. Price: “I was only working on this match and I’m glad I got through this round. My next match isn’t until after Christmas. I can enjoy that now. I don’t really care who my opponent is. will be ready.”
It should be clear: this world champion wants to extend his title.
