Gerwyn Price secured his spot in the World Championship second round for the first time yesterday. The Welshman, in his 4th time of asking, had never won a match on the Ally Pally stage, but rectified that against young qualifier Ted Evetts.
The Iceman spoke to PDC.tv afte this first round victory and said the following:
"I was anxious all day and I'm just thankful to play well tonight and come through the game," said Price. "I haven't won a game on that stage so I put the pressure on myself to be honest.
"I felt good when I was practicing and I felt good when I was up there. It could have gone to 1-1 in the second set but fortunately I came through that.
"I put pressure on myself in this event because I hadn’t won a game, I've lost first round for the first three years so I felt it. I don't feel like that at any other tournament.
"At the UK Open I'd never really come through a first round but once I did that I made the final, so the rest better watch out!"
Price now awaits the winner of the first round clash between Ian White, and a qualifier. (Either Willard Bruguier or Cody Harris)
