Gezzy Price vows to learn from Michael van Gerwen’ s ruthlessness after his narrow defeat to the World Number 1 in the Ladbrokes UK Open Final on Sunday.
A very honest Price said “I felt on fire throughout the whole weekend, and had darts to go ahead by a big margin in the final but bombed a few doubles – it could have been an 11-5 win but Michael was ruthless and pounced on my mistakes.”
“When he got his nose in front he just never looked back, I’ve got to learn from that and get that killer instinct to finish off games and take the chances that my power scoring gives me. As luck would have it, I’ve got an immediate opportunity to get some redemption and it’ll be a cracking game again in Liverpool I’m sure”.
The Iceman is looking to bounce right back with a big win when he faces MvG again at the Liverpool Premier League, with both men in the hunt for a play-off spot in the closest league stage that we’ve ever seen to date.
You can watch all the action from the M&S Bank Arena live on Sky Sports from 7pm in the UK and via the PDC’s global broadcast partners Worldwide.
