Gerwyn Price showcased his exceptional skill at the Baltic Sea Darts Open 2025, defeating Gary Anderson 8-3 in a thrilling final to claim the prestigious title and a £30,000 prize. The Welshman, known as "The Iceman," delivered a masterclass performance, leaving his opponent with no room to recover.
Price’s path to victory was marked by a series of impressive wins. He first overcame world number one Luke Humphries in the quarter-finals with a 6-3 triumph, followed by a 7-3 victory against Premier League star Chris Dobey in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Anderson secured his place in the final by defeating Jonny Clayton and James Wade.
The final at the Wunderino Arena saw Price dominate from the start, maintaining control throughout the match. Anderson struggled to find his rhythm, missing crucial opportunities to close the gap. Price’s precision and composure were on full display as he sealed the win with a decisive double 12.
This victory marks Price’s second consecutive European Tour win, following his recent success at the Poland Darts Masters. Reflecting on his performance, Price expressed confidence in his form ahead of the upcoming World Matchplay in Blackpool. "I’ve been playing well, and I hope to carry this momentum forward," he said in a post-match interview.
Notable absentees from the tournament included defending champion Rob Cross, who suffered a surprising 6-2 loss to Andy Baetens, and world champion Luke Littler, who did not compete in Germany.
Price’s triumph at the Baltic Sea Darts Open cements his status as one of the sport’s top players, with fans eagerly anticipating his next appearance on the big stage.
