Luke Humphries remains on course for his second tournament victory this year on the European Tour. 'Cool Hand Luke,' who previously won the German Darts Grand Prix, was a 6-2 winner over Jose de Sousa in the second round of the International Darts Open.
Humphries was especially strong on his scoring with six 180s. On his doubles he was less precise with no fewer than 11 misses. "I wasn't at my menacing best but I thought I played alright considering the [humid] conditions," said Humphries post-match. "We all have to deal with it."
It was Humphries' first time competing as reigning world champion in Riesa. "I was looking forward to another good reception from the crowd and I got it. Hopefully I can give them some good darts tomorrow."
Humphries will take on Stephen Bunting on Sunday afternoon at the last sixteen, who was too strong for Michael Unterbuchner in the second round, 6-1.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
