Gerwyn Price failed to win the International Darts Open for the fifth time Sunday night. In the final of the Euro Tour tournament in Riesa, 'The Iceman' lost to Martin Schindler.
Price twice gained a break lead in the final, but lost his break almost immediately each time. In the tenth leg he was broken, after which the Welshman lost 8-5 to his German opponent.
The former world champion did not hide his disappointment afterwards. ''I’m a little bit disappointed in myself,'' Price said on the podium during the awards ceremony. ''I felt I should have won this game, but fair play to Martin, he’s a fantastic player and he played well there.''
Price then regretted that the crowd did not support him in the final, after 'The Iceman' had been heavily encouraged by the German fans in every match just before that. ''All this tournament the crowd have been on my side and the stats against me (in the final) are the crowd. Martin's a fantastic player, and Gabriel, and every German player's brilliant, but the crowd is an advantage.,'' Price said.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- 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
