Price and Clayton to meet in World Grand Prix
Former World Champions Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton have set up an all-Welsh World Grand Prix quarter-final showdown in Leicester on Friday. Their latest encounter saw Price win in straight sets, avenging a previous loss to England's Ross Smith in the World Series final earlier in September. Price, who hasn't dropped a set in this year's tournament, expressed satisfaction with his victory while acknowledging that the game wasn't particularly brilliant.
Clayton, on the other hand, won his second-round match 3-1 against Wessel Nijman, averaging 93 and landing eight 180s. He expressed enthusiasm about the event and hinted at good banter between him and Price, noting that Price had previously sent him a flag with a number one on it whenever Clayton reclaimed the Welsh number one spot.
The quarter-final between Price and Clayton is set to take place on Friday at 19:00 BST, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals.
