Peter Wright lost another Grand Slam of Darts final with 'Snakebite' losing similar to his 2019 loss in a 16-8 defeat to Gerwyn Price who made it three titles at the Aldersley Leisure Village.
Wright admitted though that he can't have any complaints and that he's taking the pragmatic approach in that he's qualified for next year so it's not an issue for him.
"I got to the final and played some nice darts on the way through, and I've got no excuses, I didn't push Gezzy," said Wright.
"He's the number one in the world, the World Champion and he's hard work to beat here. I didn't turn up for the final and I'm disappointed.
"Obviously I've been going through a slump with my darts but I'll take positives from this week.
"I haven't lost anything on the rankings, and I haven't got to qualify for next year's Grand Slam!"
