Gerwyn Price Claims 10th European Title with Victory Over Ross Smith

Gerwyn Price has become the second player in history to win 10 European titles, joining Michael van Gerwen at the top of the all-time list. Price secured his 10th title with an 8-6 win over Ross Smith at the European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen, Germany. The victory marked a moment of heartbreak for Smith, who had reached his fourth Euro Tour final but was unable to claim the title. The match was closely contested, with Price taking an early 3-0 lead before Smith fought back to level the score at 3-3. However, Price found another break of throw in the 11th leg and held his nerve to seal the win. The Welshman's victory is a historic moment in his career, and he will look to build on this success as he faces Gian van Veen in the Premier League Darts in Liverpool on Thursday. Price reflected on the match, saying, "I think me and Ross probably both tried a bit too hard in that game. We have both had great tournaments, and I was just struggling to get over the winning line. Thankfully, I won this one, and it will give me a bit of confidence going forward." The road to the final saw Price overcome Wessel Nijman with a strong 7-4 win, while Smith battled past Krzysztof Ratajski with a 7-5 victory. The tournament also featured notable wins from Nijman, who defeated Michael van Gerwen, and Ratajski, who held off Danny Noppert in a tense match. The Premier League Darts continues on Thursday, with Luke Humphries defending his title, and the action can be streamed on Sky Sports.
