Price withdraws from Nordic Darts Masters due to elbow injury, Sherrock receives bye through to semi-finals

Gerwyn Price will not face off against Fallon Sherrock on Saturday afternoon at the Nordic Darts Masters due to a recurrence of an elbow injury.
Price defeated Daniel Larsson 6-3 in Friday's first round. But it was duly noted post match after an under par display that he was considering withdrawing due to tennis elbow with a flare up of an ongoing injury.
Now 'The Iceman' who will have a stacked calendar heading into the defence of his World Championship has decided against playing any further part to prevent long-term damage.
"I'm gutted to have to withdraw, especially after getting the win tonight, but I have to consider the long-term effects of the injury," said Price.
"It's a problem I've had previously and I know that playing up to three games on Saturday would be extremely tough and could also affect me ahead of some important events coming up.
"I want to thank the Danish fans for giving me a great welcome on Friday and I hope I can play in front of them again next year."
Now Sherrock will face either Dimitri van den Bergh or Gary Anderson for a spot in the final after receiving a direct bye through to the semi-finals.

- 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.
