"Too much darts at the moment": Gerwyn Price admits fatigue after International Darts Open exit but positive about form
PDC
Gerwyn Price has took to social media to admit he is slightly burned out after his exit at the International Darts Open in Riesa. But with a caveat that he is super positive about his game right now.
Price as expected was gutted to lose out to Nathan Aspinall. 'The Asp' is into tonight's Quarter-Finals after reeling off four consecutive legs from 5-2 down to seal it in a deciding leg with a 121 checkout on the bull.
Price usually the king of Riesa was perhaps the biggest doubt coming into this weekend after he had to withdraw from an exhibition last weekend. But he rebounded by winning another Players Championship last Monday.
He then reached the final of the Premier League in Berlin all while seemingly battling an injury. But despite losing to Aspinall, he keeps his head held high.
"Gutted to lose today," he wrote. "But so happy to be on the way home. Too much darts atm (at the moment)."
But he followed it up with a more positive caveat. "Playing so well," he concluded his story.
It is at a time when players are starting to feel the burn out that comes with the schedule of ProTour, Premier League then sometimes European Tour most weeks. Luke Humphries admitted feeling emotionless and that darts was a chore right now regarding the current schedule so for some it is taking a toll.
“When I’m up on stage I am just feeling emotionless," said Humphries. "It’s weird and it’s me being honest to all the fans. I feel like my emotions are just all over the place. It’s not that I don’t want to be here — it just seems a chore for me at the moment.
“It’s just too much darts. I’m playing too much. I think I need a break. I’m emotionless and it is not good for my mental state. The emotion was drained from there. Usually I have the fight in me."

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
