Gerwyn Price It seems that after a difficult period he found his Mojo. Only through the missing tournaments “The Iceman” realized that he was far from darts.
Therefore, in recent weeks the price seems to be more and more returning to its old form. He made the quarter -finals at World Darts Championship and reached the finals of the Bahrain Darts Masters. The most important event of this tournament was his victory over Luke Littler, a match in which the price recorded an average of 115.31.
In November last year, Price missed participation in the great slam of Darts, a tournament in which Welshman achieved the greatest success in the past with three titles. This turned out to be a turning point, he said in an interview with Reach.
“Having a few weeks free, there is a lack of a great slam and going out at the beginning of the player championships … I am really easy to get bored and I really didn’t have anything to do.
“This will cause me a perspective for me. If I don’t play darts, I have nothing else to do. I missed it. I love to play in a great slam and won it several times. It was hard to be missing. It gave me a reset and made me wait to play again.
“I just want to enjoy my darts again. I think I played a little too much and immersed myself. But missing these few weeks gave me a spark and I think that’s all I needed. “
The place of the quarter -finals at World Darts Championship was really the only attraction in otherwise poor years. Nevertheless, to his surprise, Price received an invitation to the upcoming Premier League darts. “I didn’t know. I knew the hour before he appeared to the sky. This year’s message came [PDC chief executive] Matt Porter, who, I thought, will be a message with information that I am not there. But he said, “Congratulations” and that I am, so I was happy. “
Perhaps his performance in PDC World Darts Championship won, unlike PDC to invitation,. “Iceman”, however, according to his own opinions, he could go much further in the Alexander Palace.
I played really well in every game, but then I slipped and let people come back to me and began to disappear double. I got a victory to Chris Dobey. I let in Joe Cullen, let Jonny Clayton.
“If I could be a little more ruthless and held my foot on gas, I would probably let myself go to the finals and I think I could win it.”
