Our Gerwyn Price vs Gian van Veen Prediction
Gian van Veen showed incredible fight to overcome last year’s runner-up James Wade in the quarter-final, but it is going to be interesting to see how he handles himself against a much more intimidating opponent in Gerwyn Price.
The Iceman looked at the peak of his power while taking down Ross Smith in the last round. If he can maintain that rhythm, we fancy the Welshman to edge the young Dutchman in this one. Our Gerwyn Price vs Gian van Veen prediction is Gerwyn Price wins.
