World Grand Prix - Semifinals
In both semi-finals tonight the Welsh players prevailed so that Jonny Clayton and Geryn Price will meet tomorrow in the final of the World
Grand Prix.
In the first semi-final Jonny Clayton defeated Danny Noppert with 4:1. Noppert looked a little bit tired and couldn't keep up yesterday's
performance while Clayton showed another highclass match. The second semi-final between Gerwyn Price and Stephen Bunting was a
strange match. Bunting dominated at the start while Price didn't play well und was 0:2 behind. The next break was longer then usually and it turned out that Price
had problems with his arm again. When he finally returned on stage he looked much better and was clearly improved. He won the next four sets
and progressed into the final.
