Relentless Joyce knocks out world champion Wright at World Grand Prix
PDCWednesday, 07 October 2020 at 22:15
Ryan Joyce has caused a big upset at the World Grand Prix by knocking out Peter Wright. The reigning world champion went out in straight sets.
Joyce is nicknamed Relentless and it showed on the doubles. He only needed thirteen arrows to open his nine legs and also recorded a finish percentage of 75 percent.
The first set went convincingly 3-1 to the Englishman. Wright started to play better in the second set, but failed at the important moments. In the second leg of set two, Snakebite missed twelve arrows to open the leg.
In leg four of this set, Wright needed eight arrows to open. Still, the world number two still had opportunities to take the set. However, Wright missed two darts to force a third set, before Joyce hit double 18 to claim the victory.
Gerwyn Price booked a hard-fought victory over Jermaine Wattimena. The Iceman especially made it very difficult for himself by missing many opening doubles. Scoringwise, the Welshman was significantly better than the Dutchman and therefore Price avoided overtime by winning both sets 3-2.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
