Welsh darting star Gerwyn Price has shared a positive health update following his unexpected withdrawal from the UK Open Pool Championship. This decision was made shortly before he was scheduled to compete against Kostiantyn Ivanov.
Health Update Following Withdrawal
Price, aged 41, has been dealing with health issues for some time. Despite pulling out from the pool tournament, he is preparing for an upcoming matchup in the Premier League Darts play-offs, where he will face reigning world champion Luke Littler.
Results from Recent Tests
In a recent Instagram story, Price shared encouraging news about his health. He stated, “Some great news today. Results back and all good. No answers to the symptoms but the results I had were good.” This statement included three smiley face emojis and three flexed bicep emojis, reflecting his relief.
Previous Health Concerns
Earlier this month, after a disappointing performance resulting in a 6-2 defeat to Jonny Clayton, Price opened up about his health struggles. He expressed concerns about his physical condition, stating, “My focus is there, it’s just health-wise I am not in a great place at the moment. But I am battling on.” He also mentioned optimism for future results to alleviate his worries.
Premier League Play-offs Preparation
Despite his health challenges, Price has shown resilience in the Premier League. He secured a spot in the play-offs after demonstrating impressive performances. Finishing fourth in the standings after a competitive 16-week season, he now prepares to face Littler for a place in the final.
Another Semi-final Matchup
In parallel, Jonny Clayton, who finished second, will compete against Luke Humphries, the most in-form player in the darting scene. This semi-final promises to be thrilling as both contenders aim for a shot at the championship.
