Kim Huybrechts lashes out: ‘Gerwyn Price is a cheater’ | Darts

“I am very disappointed,” said Huybrechts after the match in London. “I should have won, very simple. I can’t say much more. This hurts. It wasn’t good. The tiebreaks on his pitch were a disaster. I’m missing 21 arrows or more on a double. Not a nice feeling. That I play a top game? Yes, what am I with that? He continues, I don’t. You don’t care. It hurts, hurts. I normally sleep well, but this is a very sour one.”

In the decisive seventh set, Huybrechts and Price came to an altercation, who exchanged a few words.

“He just yells all the time,” grumbles The Hurricane. “I do that too, but he does that when he walks next to me. Just when I want to dock to cast. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, that’s just how he does it. I don’t want to talk too much about it right now after the race, but he’s just annoying on a podium. You can’t do this. If he wants to win like that, that’s good for him. As the English say: he’s a cheat. But he likes to do it. Is it difficult to maintain focus? Very hard. I don’t mind if someone shouts or cheers, but not next to me. And that’s what he did.”

“He accelerated and I counteracted,” Price responded to the incident. “The crowd was tough and so was Kim, but this is part of this kind of competition. If I’d lost this one, I wouldn’t have been happy either. He sometimes tried to interfere with my throw by standing next to me, so I took him back. I said to him, ‘And now it’s right again’. If you’re good enough to hand out, you should be good enough to cash in.”
