Price "over the moon" after claiming World Grand Prix glory in Coventry

Gerwyn Price is the new World Grand Prix champion after a 5-2 sets win over Dirk van Duijvenbode at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

Price made it four titles in four weeks with his only defeat recently coming to Devon Petersen in a European Tour showing the form of the now World Number Two.

He admitted afterwards that he was over the moon and that his tactic to put him under constant pressure worked in the end.

Despite winning the double start tournament though, 'The Iceman' said that his attention now turns to the Grand Slam and also the European Tour this weekend as he aims to collect more titles.

"I'm over the moon," said Price. "At the end I was thinking about the [Dave] Chisnall game again and how I almost threw that game away.

"I seem to punish myself all the time, I kept bombing opportunities and I need to cut that out of my game. I can't let players like Dirk back in.

"I knew tonight whenever I put him under pressure he would struggle and for most of the game I did that.

"It was a difficult game and maybe it looked a little bit easier than it was, but I'm happy to get over the winning line.

"It was a good tournament for me but this one's over now. I'll enjoy it tonight but there's a European Tour event coming up on the weekend to look forward to.

"I've got one eye on the Grand Slam of Darts in November. I've got good memories of that tournament and now good memories in Coventry too.

"Hopefully I will have a good back end of the year."
