Gerwen Price calls for changes in dart rules

According to The Sun: Gerwen Price expressed a desire to make significant changes to the dart rules after losing to Luke Littler at the World Grand Prix.

The 40-year-old Price lost a two-set lead and lost the match 3-2 in a thrilling quarter-final in Leicester.

In this tense match, Price failed to capitalize on THREE micro-chances to win against Littler.

Previously, he had managed to win six matches in a row against this teenager.

However, Littler made an impressive comeback, finishing the game with an incredible 152.

After the loss, Price called for significant changes in darts.

He shared his thoughts on social media, saying that most major tournaments should take place in 'neutral' venues and countries.

“Wow gutted.

And this is why we need to play majors in neutral venues/countries.

Luke was great in patches at the right time in the end, but I lost that one again.”

Fans are actively discussing Price's comments on social media.

One of them wrote: “I partly agree with him, and partly not.”

Another noted: “Not in neutral locations, but maybe more tournaments should be held outside England.”

Some fans even noted that Price looked frustrated at certain moments during the match.

He tried to practice his double 13 during one of the sets when he was significantly behind Littler.

For his part, world champion Littler commented on his victory: “It was very, very weird. Of course, I wasn't happy when I went 2-0 down.

“In the first and second sets, I kept touching the wire. I couldn't hit those doubles.

“But my sore throat is definitely worth it.

“I went 2-0 down and thought I could soon throw for the match. I told myself it had to be like that, and it happened.”

This match undoubtedly became a highlight of the darts season, showcasing how easily a lead can change, and how crucial it is to have a strategy at every stage of the game. Although Price expresses his contradictions regarding the venues of tournaments, both players are leaving a mark in the history of darts, particularly through their thrilling matches and sportsmanship.
