Price reflects after on-stage tension with Wright during semi-final defeat: "I was upset with what Peter did and I think it was out of order"

Gerwyn Price bowed out of the 2020 PDC World Championship but this wasn't without controversy with himself and Peter Wright having needle throughout their semi-final contest.

Price was criticised for not shaking hands as well at the end and gave his reasoning that it isn't a rule that he has to shake hands at all and that during an important game like that, he was fully focused.

He added that he was upset with Wright's actions and that it is what cost him a final spot due to his form as a result for the rest of the game.

"Thanks everyone for the support over the last two weeks; it was a great tournament for me and I loved every minute.

"It's not a rule that you have to shake hands before, during or after the game. It was the biggest game of my career and I was fully focused.

"Before and after such an important game banter is acceptable but not during, when players are fully focused, trying to do a job having just bombed the first set.

"I was upset with what Peter did and I think it was out of order considering the circumstances. I never settled afterwards - I was rubbish from this point onwards which cost me a World Championship final spot.

"Players know what they are doing and do this when they know there's a threat."
