🗣️ "If I'm winning tournaments with my C-game, hopefully when my A-game comes out, that's good enough as well!" Gerwyn Price reacts to his Players Championship 18 success in Hildesheim, after becoming the first player to celebrate back-to-back Pro Tour titles in 2023!

Gerwyn Price achieved a double-double last weekend, winning titles at both the 17th and 18th Players Championship tournaments of the season in Hildesheim.
On Saturday, he was too strong for Josh Rock in the final, while Price triumphed 8-1 against Gian van Veen in the final on Sunday. Moreover, they were the first Players Championship titles of the season for "The Iceman.
Despite that, he still wasn't pleased with facets of his display, even though he admitted that only winning mattered in the end.
“Gian is a great player. He missed a couple of chances, and I didn’t let him off in that game,” admitted Price, the first player in 2023 to win back-to-back ProTour titles.
“My game wasn’t the best apart from a couple of games at the end. I was scoring well all day, missing loads of doubles but getting away with it.
“I would rather play really well, even if I lose sometimes. Scraping games doesn’t give you that much confidence, but winning is what matters.
“If I’m winning tournaments when I’m playing my C-game, when my A-game comes out, hopefully that’s good enough as well, because some people turn me over when I’m playing my best!
“When there are ranking points at stake, it means a little bit more, and luck was on my side this weekend.”

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
