Grand Slam of Darts 2025: Gerwyn Price Insists He Has ‘More in the Tank’ in Pursuit of Fourth Title
Three-time Grand Slam of Darts winner Gerwyn Price is targeting a fourth title, insisting he still has “more in the tank.” After a commanding 16-9 quarter-final win over Ricky Evans, Price says he’s not at peak form yet but is focused on his own game as he prepares to face world number one Luke Humphries in Sunday’s semi-final.

Three-time Grand Slam of Darts winner Gerwyn Price insists he is far from finished as he gears up for Sunday’s semi-finals, believing there is still “a lot more in the tank” as he chases a fourth title.
The Welshman produced a superb quarter-final performance to defeat the rapid-fire Ricky Evans 16-9, averaging just under 100 and gaining sweet revenge after losing to Evans in the group stage earlier in the tournament.
It was the latest reminder of the high-level form Price has shown throughout the season, having topped the ProTour Order of Merit, though converting that into major televised success has proved elusive.
Price Says Best Is Yet to Come
Sunday’s clash marks Price’s first ranking TV semi-final of the year, and he insists there is still another gear to find as he attempts to rediscover the level that made him champion in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
“I’m probably playing on 60, 70%. There’s a lot more in the tank and my scoring game is not at the highest peak that it can be. My checkout game is decent, but it can be a lot better.”
Price Arrived Expecting to Win
Price revealed that he arrived in Wolverhampton with clear intentions of challenging for the title, refusing to turn up to a big tournament without believing he can go the distance.
Despite not having lifted a televised ranking trophy since 2021, he was confident this week would be different.
"The idea of the fourth [Grand Slam title] was right at the beginning. I wouldn't turn up unless I think I'm going to win.”
World No.1 Standing in the Way
His route to the final now goes through world number one Luke Humphries, who has been in devastating form despite suffering a back spasm before his last-16 win over Jurjen van der Velde. Humphries averaged a staggering 108.55 in that match, underlining the scale of the challenge.
But Price refuses to be distracted by his opponent’s reputation or form. For him, the battle is always internal.
“Luke [Humphries] is playing brilliant in this tournament, but it doesn’t matter in the semifinal I need to play well I'm going to win against whoever.”
“I don’t care how they’re injury or if they’re playing brilliant. I never worry about the other player."
“Concentrate on my own game. They have to deal with whatever they have to deal with, but I’ll just conquer my own mind.”
With Price focused, composed, and convinced he still hasn’t hit top gear, Sunday’s semi-final is poised to be a blockbuster.
