Price produces epic comeback to win last leg thriller against Whitlock
NewsFriday, 16 November 2018 at 22:31
Gerwyn Price produced an epic comeback to see off Simon Whitlock and book his place in the semi-Finals of the Grand Slam of Darts.
Price was 9-5 behind and then went 13-10 behind and he came back both times mainly due to missed opportunities from The Wizard. This makes the loss even more hard to take for the Aussie.
Whitlock missed five match darts at the end and Price took advantage in this instance. The Welshman pinned double 12 to take the win in the leg-decider.
It was a dramatic affair with Price doing his usual celebrations which seemed to get under the skin of Whitlock. It worked though it seems with the Iceman booking a clash with Mensur Suljovic after the last leg shootout.
Saturday night will see the last two semi-finals confirmed with Jonny Clayton facing Michael van Gerwen and Michael Unterbuchner playing against Gary Anderson.

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
