Price looks to emulate Taylor: "I think I can dominate a bit more"

Gerwyn Price begins his defence this week of his PDC World Darts Championship crown after winning the title last year seeing off Gary Anderson 7-3 in the final.

But for Price, he believes he is far from being at his best and that many more World titles will follow.

"If you think I'm the finished article, I'm nowhere near the finished article," he said to Sky Sports.

"I've only been playing darts for nine years, in the PDC for seven years. There's a hell of a lot more to come from me. I've a lot more in the tank.

"I will become a lot more consistent. I will become a lot more dominant over the next couple of years, I believe, because I'm nowhere near where I want to be in terms of being consistent at the game.

Price looks back on World Darts Championship triumph: "I was in my own mind that if I played well I was going to win"

"Give me another two or three years, I think I'll be a lot more dominant than what I am now - even though I'm a world champ and a world number one.

"But in another two or three years' time, I'll be a lot more confident, a lot more consistent. I think I can dominate a bit more then, in the coming years."

But what would his dominance in the sport look like? Price believes it would be akin to Phil Taylor.

"I probably think more like Phil Taylor," Price answers.

"Michael was dominant, but he wasn't winning every single event. Don't get me wrong, he has won every event. But he wasn't dominant in every event, every year like Phil was. I'll probably look to get more towards a Phil Taylor-type dominance."
