Gerwyn Price Vows to Show Gian van Veen No Leniency

Gerwyn Price has pledged to give Gian van Veen no quarter when they face off in the Premier League Darts in Berlin. Van Veen is returning to action after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones, which forced him to miss the previous week's event in Dublin and a European Tour tournament in Belgium. Despite still feeling the effects of his recent health issue, Van Veen has traveled to Germany to compete. Price, meanwhile, is looking forward to the match, saying 'I hope he's going to play poorly.' Price's comments were lighthearted, but he emphasized his intention to win and show no mercy to his opponent. Van Veen's fellow Dutchman, Michael van Gerwen, expressed sympathy for his compatriot, acknowledging the demanding nature of the Premier League format. Van Gerwen also defended Luke Humphries, the reigning Premier League champion, who has faced criticism for lacking confidence on stage. Humphries recently won his ninth European Tour title, silencing some of his critics. The Premier League Darts continues on Thursday, with Luke Littler seeking to overtake Jonny Clayton at the top of the standings.
