Hard lesson for Humphries in Austria: “Hopefully I learn to finish matches in the future”
NewsMonday, 23 April 2018 at 18:14
Luke Humphries is one of the newcomers on the PDC circuit this year. 'Cool Hand' owes his Tour Card to his good performance on the Development Tour in 2017.
Humphries has also performed well on the main circuit of the PDC. The Englishman qualified for the first four Euro Tour tournaments.
At these events, Humphries offered the best players a good match, but at the important moments he still has a shortage.
On his Facebook page, Humphries states that he must learn to finish matches and throw more consistently.
The 23-year-old Brit came to this conclusion, after he had lost to Steve Beaton last Saturday after a last leg decider.
"These were the hottest conditions I have ever played. I did not feel well during the game and lost 6 to Beaton. Hopefully I learn to finish matches in the future. "
"I have learned a lot in the last four Euro Tour tournaments. They were more negative lessons than positive ones. My time may come, I have to learn to play more consistently. I know I have it in me.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
