Luke Humphries heads into tonight’s opener at the European Championship against Krzysztof Ratajski looking to repeat his European Tour excellence as top seed.
Humphries spoke prior to the tournament about the effect of winning four titles and he said it added belief and confidence that weren’t there prior.
“Winning those titles made me believe. It made me believe I could win, and that is crucial,” said Humphries.
“Once you win that first title, it makes you believe things can happen.
“The top 16 now is very elite. There is nothing between us. We’re all very good players and it’s exciting times for darts, because there is exceptional talent around.”
