Baltic Sea Darts Open 2025: Gerwyn Price beats Gary Anderson in final to clinch title | Darts News
Gerwyn Price stormed Gary Anderson’s victory to raise the open title of the Baltic Sea to Kiel.
The 40-year-old Welshman turned out to be unstoppable when he ran to an 8-3 victory against his Scottish opponent in the Wundertino Arena final.
By dragging 2-1, Price won five legs on the trot to establish an advance of 6-2 and never looked back from there.
He had placed himself in the final with a demolition of 7-3 of Chris Dobey in the semi-finals, but the passage of Anderson was even simpler when he beat James Wade 7-1 to reserve a confrontation with the Welshman, who had dismissed the world number one Luke Humphries 6-3 in the last eight.
Anderson had planned an early warning of his form when he had an average of 108.03 in his 6-1 victory in the quarter-finals against Jonny Clayton, but Price was finally too good.
“I think I played enough all weekends, so I’m really frightened,” said Price. “Gary was not at his best in the final and I can obviously play better, but I am really delighted to overcome the line and get another European tour to my credit.
“I cannot say how much it means to win this, especially in front of such a fantastic crowd. I needed ranking points leading to the back of the year, so this £ 30,000 definitely helps!”
Price Bounds in the world matchplay – Live on Sky Sports – overflowing with confidence when it aims to raise the Phil Taylor trophy for the first time at the winter gardens.
“I lost in the final before, so now I have to lift this trophy,” added Price, a finalist defeated by Michael Van Gerwen in 2022.
“I won in Poland, I reached the semi-finals and the final on the Protor, so coming here and winning here permanently puts me in good before the world match.
“I’m playing very well right now, but everything is the day. There are so many good players in the tournament, so anyone can win it.”
