"I’m embracing that feeling of being World Champion now'' - Luke Humphries arrived in Poland with different status for World Series tournament
PDCFriday, 14 June 2024 at 18:30
Luke Humphries is one of the PDC stars in action this weekend at the Poland Darts Masters in Gliwice. It is another opportunity for Cool Hand Luke to win a first World Series title.
Humphries' record includes Players Championship titles, European Tour titles, major titles and, since January, the world title. However, the Englishman has yet to win a World Series title. In his previous nine appearances at World Series tournaments, the world number one did not even reach the final. In recent weeks, Humphries made his appearance at the World Series tournaments in New York and Copenhagen. At both tournaments, Humphries lost out in the semifinals against Rob Cross.
“I’m just hoping I can produce my A-game this weekend. There’s a lot more expectation on my shoulders compared to last year, but I’m embracing that feeling of being World Champion now,'' Humphries said in a preview on pdc.tv.
The 29-year-old darter was also in action last year when the PDC hosted its first tournament in Poland. Then Humphries lost in the quarterfinals 6-2 to an unstoppable Michael van Gerwen. “This is a great tournament to be involved in and I’m really happy to be here. Last year was a great success and I’m sure this year will be a great success too," he recalls. “The fans were absolutely amazing in Warsaw and it’s a bigger arena this year, so I’m expecting the atmosphere to be even better."
Humphries will take on Hungary's György Jehirszki in the first round. Jehirszki managed to qualify for the Poland Darts Masters through a qualifying tournament and will make his television debut. The inexperience with Jehirszki, however, is no reason for Humphries to underestimate him. ''I don’t know much about Gyorgy but he’s in this tournament for a reason, so I won’t take him lightly,'' said the reigning world champion.

- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
