Gerwyn Price takes aim at rivals after Bahrain Darts Masters victory
Gerwyn Price targeted his rivals on social media following his quarter-final victory over Luke Littler at the Bahrain Darts Masters, reports BritPanorama.
The Welsh player delivered a decisive 6-2 win against the world champion, ending Littler’s impressive 21-match winning streak. Price opened the contest with a strong performance, quickly establishing a dominant position by winning five consecutive legs, while Littler struggled to keep pace.
Despite slumping to a 5-1 deficit, the world champion managed to take a single leg before Price closed out the match, showcasing precision and composure. Littler’s momentary resurgence led him to switch back to his familiar dart set in an attempt to recover, albeit with limited success.
Price playful jabbed at fans of both Littler and world number two Luke Humphries, who were expected to meet in the final. After the match, he tweeted humorously, “Gutted to lose there. Didn’t feel good all night, gonna stop and watch the Luke-Luke final though,” but later clarified, “Don’t bite. I’m joking it’s called banter.”
The victory was bittersweet for Price; he exited in the semi-finals against Michael van Gerwen, who subsequently clinched the tournament title. Notably, Humphries, referenced in Price’s tongue-in-cheek post, also fell at the quarter-final stage, marking an unexpected turn in the competition.
In a realm where banter and rivalry fuel the fervour of darts, Price’s witty remarks serve not only as a showcase of his character but highlight the unpredictable nature of the sport, a reminder of how quickly form can shift on the stage.
