The world number one Gerwyn Price continued his triumphal march at the Darts World Championship in London and can still hope for the second title in Alexandra Palace.
The Welshman beat Portugal’s José de Sousa 4-1 on Thursday evening, becoming the first player ever to qualify for the quarter-finals of this World Cup. There it comes to a duel on New Year’s with the winner of the game Gabriel Clemens (Germany) against Alan Soutar (Scotland). De Sousa surprisingly turned a 3-0 deficit against Ryan Searle into a 4-3 win in round three.
Price must win the tournament to remain world number one. So far he has had few problems. His clear 4-0 third round victory over former world champion Raymond van Barneveld (Netherlands) turned into a show of power.
In the late game of the evening session, veteran Jonny Clayton prevailed 4:3 against Northern Irish high-flyer Josh Rock. The Welshman came from a 2:3 deficit and now meets the winner of the Belgian duel Kim Huybrechts against Dimitri van den Bergh in the round of the last eight. A Welsh final between former team world champion duo Price and Clayton is theoretically possible.
