Gerwyn Price Claims Historic 10th European Title with Victory Over Ross Smith
Gerwyn Price made history by becoming the second player to win 10 European titles, joining Michael van Gerwen in an exclusive club. He secured the European Darts Grand Prix title with an 8-6 win over Ross Smith in Sindelfingen, Germany. The victory marked a moment of heartbreak for Smith, who suffered his fourth Euro Tour final defeat. Price's win was sealed when he found another break of throw in the 11th leg, moving 6-5 ahead, and he then held his throw well to wrap up the victory on D12. The Welshman reflected on the game, 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.' Price's 10th title is a significant milestone, and he is eager to build on this success, particularly with his upcoming match against Gian van Veen in the Premier League Darts. The path to the final saw Price overcome Wessel Nijman with a strong 7-4 win, while Smith booked his spot in the final with a battling 7-5 win over Krzysztof Ratajski. The tournament also saw notable wins from Nijman, who defeated Michael van Gerwen, and Ratajski, who held his nerve to win a tense match against Danny Noppert. The European Darts Grand Prix was filled with thrilling matches, and Price's historic victory is a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport.
