Jonny Clayton has produced a remarkable comeback to surge into the semi-finals at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam in a 10-9 win over defending champion Gerwyn Price.
Clayton who beat Price in his last competitive tournament to win the World Grand Prix came from 7-2 and 8-4 down to see off the World Number One in a deciding leg in some style.
Price began the tie with an immediate break of throw in the form of an 84 checkout which set him up towards a 4-1 lead at the first break with a 108 average.
He remained in firm control of the match at 7-3 up but Clayton showed signs of a comeback with a break of throw to make it the aforementioned scoreline.
He followed that up with a hold at 8-5 and in an incredible portion of the match, he took out 100 for an 11-dart break to make it 8-6 before following it up with a 124 checkout on the bull to trail 8-7.
It was remarkably parity as he made it six out of the last seven legs won to make it 8-8. Five in a row was next up as he went one away and was suddenly looking to run away with the match at 9-8.
Price stopped the rot to send it all the way but that was a mere hold as Clayton was throwing for the match which he claimed with a superb 122 on the bull.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
