Nathan Aspinall lost out in the final of the World Grand Prix on Sunday evening in Leicester with a 5-3 defeat to Michael van Gerwen in the final.
Aspinall quickly fell behind 4-0 but never gave in and dug deep and despite admitting MVG was the better player, he is proud with his efforts.
"This week, Michael has been amazing - he's back to his best and he's been the deserved winner of this tournament," he said on Sky Sports.
"When I was 4-0 down I just wanted to win a set and give him a bit of a game, and I did that. I wanted to make him win it, and he did.
"He's been phenomenal all week but I never gave in. It's another final and I'm very happy."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
