The first semi-finalist is set at the Nordic Darts Masters with Gerwyn Price ending the defence of reigning champion Dimitri van den Bergh in a 10-7 win in the opening Quarter-Final in Copenhagen.
Price produced a 100.8 average and seven 180's in moving through as he aims for back-to-back finals on the World Series with a first title of the year on his radar.

Price for most of the tie always had a good lead going 3-2 up at the first interval with a 70 checkout before returning to break with a 94 on the bull for 5-3.
Van den Bergh reduced the deficit to 6-4 at the next break before hitting 127 and game to stay on his coattails. But Price aimed to add the hammer blow. He hit a 94 checkout to break and go one away at 9-5.
But missed match darts allowed Van den Bergh to stay in it until the very end in which the Belgian couldn't take advantage and Price sealed it.

- @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
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- 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
