Humphries after dumping out Wade on World Matchplay debut: "This is just the start"

Luke Humphries produced an exceptional display to dump out former World Matchplay champion, James Wade on his debut in the showpiece event.

Humphries who has been in terrific form this year lost out Wade in his maiden major final and he said while it wasn't about revenge, there is plenty more to come.

"It was a very tough draw," said Humphries. "James played well in the UK Open final but it wasn't about revenge - he didn't play his best darts there.

"I got in front of him early on and punished his mistakes. I felt that there was a lot more to give and I had a few slack darts, but my doubles were good at the right times and I can't be too critical of myself."

"I've been working hard and I think it's paying off," he added.

"This is just the start, I feel like there are better performances to come. I just seem at home on the big stage and I produce my best darts."
