Colin Lloyd has spoke after Peter Wright's latest defeat in a major final, this time against Gerwyn Price at the Grand Slam of Darts and he believes that he has another one in him.

Lloyd said that the difference for him is that he keeps running into players playing amazing darts and that he's been walking into players really on their game.
He added that with his UK Open triumph, he has shown he can get the monkey off his back and that he believes firmly that there is another major in him somewhere.
"Unfortunately, we have to keep talking about it (Peter Wright being beaten in the final)," said Lloyd to Sky Sports.
"He's given himself opportunities and there's got to be another win for him around the corner, somewhere? He's won a UK Open so he's actually got the monkey off his back."
"Do you know what though? He's walking into people who are playing absolutely relentless [darts] in the finals. He's been walking into people that are really on their game."
"This time around you can't take anything away from Gerwyn Price - he was averaging around 113 at one point and there's not a lot that you can do about that unless you are averaging 116/117."
"Also, Wright had a real slug-fest of a battle in the semi-finals with Glen Durrant, who also had a good run, and I think that took a little bit more out of him than we first though," added Lloyd.
"Michael van Gerwen and Price's semi-final was unbelievably brilliant but it seemed to go really quickly and I think that Gerwyn was a little bit fresher than Peter. Peter is still a great player and I think that there is another big major in him somewhere."
