Gary Anderson makes the explosive World Cup final perfect
| Reading time: 3 minutes
“We all have to wait for this last couple now”
Sascha Bandermann has reported for Sport1 since the Darts World Cup from Alexandra Palace for years. He shows why on the blackboard show with his precise analysis. Above all, however, the “Bandomator” is also fueling the anticipation of the last three games in host Lutz Wöckener.
Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price caused the biggest scandal in their sport two years ago. Now they face each other in the final of the Darts World Cup. The Scotsman had the perfect duel with a victory over Dave Chisnall.
meIt was the great emotion of the last ten years. On November 18, Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price met in the Grand Slam of Darts final. Emotions boiled, it wasn’t just words and provocations. Anderson and Price were involved in verbal abuse and shoving.
Subsequently, Price was fined £ 21,500 and suspended for three months on probation. To date, the toughest penalty ever for darts. Anderson got away with a reprimand. Both have been avoiding each other ever since. The five matches that have existed since then both took place in a fresh environment, but on a professional level. Will it continue like this?
Gerwyn Price’s dirty win against Gary Anderson
Gerwyn Price wins the Grand Slam of Darts final against Gary Anderson with questionable methods and celebrates the greatest success of his career thus far. See the highlights of the finale here.
On Sunday, the two rivals will surprisingly meet in the final of the 28th World Darts Championship. And in particular Anderson, who won his semi-finals 6-3 against Dave Chisnall, showed en route to his fifth World Cup final how fragile the 2015 and 2016 world champions have become. The one who was always considered sovereign. As someone who was above things, exuding ease and coolness like no other.
In the world rankings, he threatened to break out of the top 20, knee and back problems affected performance and mood. He then had to be in crown quarantine in the run-up to the World Cup. At the World Cup he faced his opponent Mensur Suljovic, PDC board member Rod Harrington and television expert Wayne Mardle.
Chisnall disappoints after his finery
So now he rivals Price, who previously prevailed 6: 4 against Stephen Bunting in a high-end fireworks display. It’s the finale that most fans would have wished for after numerous favorite falls.
Here darts professional Martin Schindler imitates his peers
Martin Schindler is not just one of the best German darts professionals. He is also an excellent copycat. Here he recreates six world-class players. Do you recognize these players?
Anderson was able to escape early in their semifinals and made it 3: 1 on the fifth-set dart. He and Chisnall had an average of 98 and a double rate of 33 percent. The Englishman was able to improve again, increasing his average after an 87 in set four to 104 in the fifth round, but it was only a brief glimpse of the quality with which he had taken Dimitri van den Bergh and Michael van Gerwen out of the tournament.

In the sixth set he fell with 84 points and was sanctioned by the Scotsman with the loss of a set. 4: 2 for Anderson, who dropped two fast darts in the next round and had to accept the 3: 4. Anderson also missed six chances to win the set in the eighth set, but Chisnall could no longer keep up. Anderson checked the double 5 to make it 5: 3 and converted his second dart in the ninth set victory on the fifth shot.
“It hurt,” which is why Shorty Seyler stopped commenting on the darts.
In 2018, Elmar Paulke switched from Sport1 to DAZN. His longtime co-commentator Tomas “Shorty” Seyler was no longer needed and he canceled Sport1 for another project. An own goal, as counted on the undercard with Lutz Wöckener.
Anderson finished with an average of 100.03. “But it felt like a 77 or a 76,” said Anderson, who was dissatisfied with his performance and was now able to win a major title against Price that was no longer possible.
Price won his first major title in the Grand Slam scandal final, now he wants to become world champion for the first time and thus also replace Michael van Gerwen at the top of the world rankings.
