Gerwyn Price stormed to victory over Gary Anderson to lift the Baltic Sea Darts Open title in Kiel.

The 40-year-old Welshman proved unstoppable as he raced to an 8-3 win over his Scottish opponent in the final at the Wunderino Arena.

Trailing 2-1, Price won five legs on the trot to establish a 6-2 lead and never looked back from there.

He had eased into the final with a 7-3 demolition of Chris Dobey in the semi-finals, but Anderson’s passage was even more straightforward as he trounced James Wade 7-1 to book a showdown with the Welshman, who had brushed aside world number one Luke Humphries 6-3 in the last eight.

Anderson had served early warning of his form when he averaged 108.03 in his 6-1 quarter-final win over Jonny Clayton, but Price ultimately proved too good.

“I think I played pretty well all weekend, so I’m really chuffed,” Price said. “Gary wasn’t at his best in the final and obviously I can play better, but I’m just really pleased to get over the line and get another European Tour title under my belt.

“I can’t put into words how much it means to win this, especially in front of such a fantastic crowd. I needed some ranking points leading up to the back end of the year, so this £30,000 definitely helps!”

Price bounds into the World Matchplay – live on Sky Sports – brimming with confidence as he aims to lift the Phil Taylor Trophy for the first time at the Winter Gardens.

“I’ve lost in the final before, so now I need to lift that trophy,” Price, beaten finalist to Michael van Gerwen in 2022, added.

“I won in Poland, I reached the semi-finals and final on the ProTour, so to come here and win here definitely puts me in good stead ahead of the World Matchplay.

“I’m playing really well at the moment, but it’s all on the day. There are so many good players in the tournament, so anybody can win it.”
