Gerwyn Price secured his second nightly win of the Premier League Darts season on the ninth night in Manchester, moving up to second place in the standings. The Welshman reflected on his performance, stating, "Yeah, it should have been my third win, should have. I let Dublin 1 get away, but yeah, it's nice to get some points on the board and a bonus with a win and five points."
Price emphasized the comfort and control he felt throughout the evening, noting, "Yeah, it's probably one of the most comfortable nights that I felt. Even though every player played really well against me, I just felt like I kept myself in the zone." He highlighted his scoring and finishing, explaining, "I was scoring well, taking out my doubles—not just hitting doubles, but taking out some decent checkouts as well when they're in front of me. Overall, I felt really comfortable tonight."
With seven weeks left before the play-offs, Price remains focused on consistency rather than nightly wins. He said, "I just aim to pick up two points each week. The nightly wins are good, but the ones when you lose first round—they're the killers. If you can just keep picking up two points, then I'm happy. But yeah, it's not so much the nightly wins, it's the two points." He added, "I've gone on and won a night, then lost in the first round. I just aim to pick up two points each week. The nightly wins are good, but the first-round losses are the killers."
Price's rise to second place puts him just above compatriot Jonny Clayton, a fact he acknowledged with humor: "Yeah, up to second in the league as well—one above Jonny, which is nice. Obviously, three incredible performances." When asked if he had messaged Clayton, Price replied, "Not yet. I won't message him, but I will give him a little nudge when I see him." Looking ahead, he concluded, "I’ll just keep ploughing on. Not looking at the table too much and picking up my points every week. Then we’ll see where we end up."
