And Price appeared to be struggling in the opening leg of the final set.
The World Grand Prix is the only televised event in which players must start and finish each leg on a double.
But The Iceman was missing the mark with his doubles as he failed to score at all in his first two visits of the third set.
This effectively ended the leg as a contest with Noppert already on 124 when Price returned to the oche.
And the 2021 world champion made the most of the leg being beyond him as he stepped up and threw three double 20s on the spin.
The darts commentator said: “He’s hardly hit that target all night”.
Price managed a wry smile and a fist-pump as he attempted to get himself going.
Reacting to the moment, one fan said: “Price just casually practicing tops towards the end of the leg”.

Another added: “In fairness, he got off every leg after that I think, seemed to work”.
While a third replied: “Looks like he’s not a**ed about this game”.
The quick bit of practise during the match seemed to work as he then came from 2-0 down to win the decider 3-2 and book his place in the second round.
He will now face James Wade for a place in the quarter-finals – where he could come up against two-time world champion Gary Anderson.
