The defending back-to-back Grand Slam champion Gerwyn Price is out of the tournament after he couldn't complete a fightback against Nathan Aspinall who won through a 10-8 winner to end the Last 16 in Coventry.
Price in his group dodged multiple bullets and was lucky at times but it wasn't on his side this time as 'The Asp' booked a tie with Dimitri van den Bergh next up.
It was a high quality start to the tie but Aspinall took the early lead at 3-2 up with two 180's and a 100 average. But when they returned from the break, the Stockport ace cemented his authority making it 5-2 with Price not able to find his scoring with no 180's up to this point.
A 94 checkout for Aspinall put Price further in bother as he went 7-3 down and three legs away from going home. But this is when he dug in.
He took out 70 to hold and make it 7-4 and a break came in with an 87 checkout on the bull making it 7-5. This was capped off with a 105 checkout on two double 20's for a 7-6 deficit.
He hit the front at 8-7 to complete the fightback but Aspinall wasn't done as he wrestled back control of the tie and his own mini fightback was complete as he secured the win.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
