Gerwyn Price tipped to walk away from darts after World Championship quit threat

A leading darts pundit has tipped Gerwyn Price to walk away from the sport after what proved a humiliating night for the world No 1 at the Ally Pally.

'The Iceman' was humbled 5-1 by German outsider Gabriel Clemens, winning just seven legs along the way. But the post-match talk wasn't dominated so much by the score, but by Price bizarrely coming out for the fifth set in headphones.

It appeared an attempt by the Welsh player to drown out the jeering from the 3,000 strong crowd, who were heavily backing German star Clemens. It made little difference to the flow of the match, with the world No 26 winning that set and although Price swapped the item for ear plugs in the sixth, Clemens took it 3-0 to seal the biggest win of his career.
