🗣️ "To pick my fifth title up is a big feeling." Luke Humphries joined an exclusive group on Sunday, after celebrating his fifth European Tour title with victory at the Interwetten European Darts Matchplay...
Humphries heads to Poland full of confidence: ''I think my game is probably in the best shape it has ever been in"

After four lost Euro Tour finals in 2023, Luke Humphries finally managed to capture his first European Tour title of the season last weekend.
That was at the expense of Dirk van Duijvenbode. The Dutchman had four matchdarts in the final of the European Darts Matchplay in Trier, but could not capitalize on them. Then it was Humphries who won 8-7.
''To pick up my fifth European Tour title last weekend was a big moment,'' Humphries reflected on his triumph in Trier last weekend in an interview with the PDC.
The 28-year-old Englishman is very happy with his current level of form. ''I think my game is probably in the best shape it has ever been in. Last year I won five titles, but I personally think I am playing better than I was last year."
This weekend in Warsaw, ''Cool Hand Luke'' is aiming for his first World Series title at the Poland Darts Masters. ''It’s a privilege to be here and be part of these massive events and I’m really looking forward to it. These are great tournaments to be a part of because they’re not just about the darts, we’re trying to grow the sport as a whole in different parts of the world.”

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @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
