Even Gerwyn Price no longer believed in himself.

"I already thought I was eliminated," said the Welshman, generally a model of self-confidence, after his 5: 4 in the quarter-finals of the Darts World Cup.

The "Iceman" was already leading with 4-2 sets and had a throw-off in round seven, but then showed weaknesses especially on the doubles fields and thus built opponent Daryl Gurney, who took six legs in a row and equalized to 4: 4 .

The tendency was clear when the weaker and weaker Welshman then checked out of nowhere 107 to make it 1-0 in the decisive set.

Gurney, however, remained unimpressed, checked 130 to make it 1-1 and, like his opponent, brought his serve through to the decider.

For the 15th time at this World Cup, a match had to be decided in the last leg of the last set.

And Price weakened again, only hitting a triple with the ninth arrow.

Gurney was at 108 points, but could not work out a match dart.

Price then converted to tops on the first try.

For Price, the world title is only a means to an end

“I was very lucky and didn't get over the line for a long time.

I obviously wanted it too badly and was really bad in the last three sentences, "admitted Price, who then turned to his family." I can imagine how my wife and children and many others felt at home.

Sure, I got through in the end, but it's frustrating.

I can only apologize. "

An average of 96.36 with a success rate of 36.96 percent is actually too little for a World Cup quarter-finals, as Price also knows.

The Welshman has a big goal in mind.

He will have to improve against Stephen Bunting to make it to the final on Sunday.

“It's a huge opportunity.

I can become the number in the world. ”And also world champion, by the way.

Like Gary Anderson, Bunting had already reached the semi-finals with a clear victory in the afternoon.
