Gerwyn Price Seeks World Darts Championship Triumph Amid Ally Pally Atmosphere
Gerwyn Price, the 2021 World Darts Champion, is eager for a triumphant return to the iconic Alexandra Palace. This year, he aims to share his victory with his family and fans, a stark contrast to his previous win, where he had to celebrate in solitude due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Welsh star is looking forward to experiencing the electric atmosphere with the crowd cheering him on.
Yearning for Celebration with Fans and Family
Price’s 2021 triumph came after a decisive 7-3 win against Gary Anderson. However, the celebration was marred by the absence of spectators. This time, Price emphasizes the importance of having his loved ones present for a memorable celebration.
“It would be extra special if I could have the family and fans there to celebrate,” he stated. Price has forged a new bond with the audience and appreciates their support. Historically, he faced mixed reactions, but now feels a stronger connection with fans.
Upcoming Challenge and Mindset
As he prepares for his first match against Adam Gawlas, Price is aware of the challenges ahead. Despite the excitement, he acknowledges some nerves. “I am really looking forward to it. I am a bit anxious,” he admitted, indicating the pressure that accompanies the competition.
Importance of the Opening Match
For Price, the first round of any tournament is typically the most intense. “I wouldn’t say it’s just the World Championship. The first game is always the toughest one,” he explained. He believes that once he secures victory in the initial match, he will gain confidence and find his rhythm.
