Tonight the European Championship gets underway in Dortmund. Luke Humphries will be there, look for his second consecutive major title.
Humphries won the World Grand Prix earlier this month. "This is a special tournament for me. This would be a lovely title to win,” said Humphries, who will take on Brendan Dolan in the opening round.
"The European Tour has been a massive catalyst for my success and winning my first major title. It has given me the experience of winning on the big stage and it has definitely helped my development."

"I want to create a legacy," continued 'Cool Hand Luke'. "I want to build on my success at the World Grand Prix. I don’t want to bow out of my career with just one major title, so I need to push on now and work harder than ever."
There will be no question of Humphries underestimating Dolan in the opening round. "I will approach the game against Brendan the same as I would if I was playing Michael van Gerwen. I’ll be looking to dominate and impose myself on the game, and hopefully I will come out the winner.”

- I hope it does get some harsh crowd treatment,,, it should not even be there. However, it failed at it own XY chromosome level... so now - it has to try and make itself look good playing amongst the ladies. Not good.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024

- I can imagine van Leuven will indeed be booed out of the building and championship, the crowd will be on his back reminiscent of when Justin Pipe played Phil Taylor. The crowd are usually boisterous and out of control at the best of times.richieburnettrocks21-10-2024
