The World Grand Prix darts semi-final line-up has been confirmed after a dramatic session that saw both a fly and a spider interrupt play. The bizarre incidents added an unexpected twist to the action, but the focus remained on the dartboard as players battled for a spot in the last four.
Gerwyn Price edged a last-leg epic, capitalising on Jonny Clayton's three missed match darts to snatch victory. Meanwhile, James Wade produced a statement performance to beat Gian van Veen and book a semi-final clash with Luke Humphries. Wade later gave a brutal verdict on his opponent's display, saying: "Gian was 'pretty poor' – 'I bashed him up!'"
Humphries, despite a 3-0 win to clinch his semi-final spot, admitted he was 'disappointed' with his performance. Wade and Nathan Aspinall also made statements ahead of the semi-finals, with Wade describing the unique World Grand Prix format as 'awful' and 'hellish'.
In other news, Luke Littler is set to compete in the World Youth Championships, while darts legend Phil Taylor has warned Littler to 'get used to the boos'. Fans can also test their skills with the Sky Sports Double Top challenge, where Mark Webster takes on the 60-second challenge.
The semi-final line-up is now confirmed, with Price, Wade, Humphries, and Aspinall all in action. For the full schedule and results, stay tuned to Sky Sports Darts.
