Gerwyn Price Makes History with Record 10th European Darts Title in Thrilling Final
Gerwyn Price achieved a historic milestone by winning his 10th European title at the European Darts Grand Prix, defeating Ross Smith 8-6 in a closely contested final held in Sindelfingen. This victory places Price alongside Michael van Gerwen as the only players to have won ten or more European titles, marking him as the second player in history to reach this impressive feat. The match was a back-and-forth battle, beginning with Price establishing an early 3-0 lead. However, Smith countered with two breaks of throw, leveling the match at 3-3. The pivotal moment occurred in the 11th leg, where Price capitalized on Smith's missed doubles, taking a 6-5 lead that he maintained until the end, securing the win on D12. Price reflected on the match, stating, "I think me and Ross probably both tried a bit too hard in that game. Thankfully, I won this one and it will give me a bit of confidence going forward." Throughout the tournament, Price showcased his skill, defeating Wessel Nijman 7-4 in the semi-finals and overcoming a fierce challenge from Martin Schindler, winning 6-5 in a dramatic last-leg decider. On the other side, Smith advanced to the final after a 7-5 victory over Krzysztof Ratajski and a 6-4 win against Nathan Aspinall in the quarter-finals. Despite his strong performances, Smith faced disappointment in his fourth Euro Tour final. As Price looks ahead, he prepares for a challenging match against Gian van Veen in the Premier League Darts on Thursday, hoping to build on his recent success.
