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."

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
