Luke Humphries recorded another win over Luke Littler for the first time since winning the World Championship final. After their meeting in early January, Littler managed to win six consecutive wins over "Cool Hand Luke".
That run came to an end Saturday night at the European Darts Grand Prix. Humphries won 6-5 from 'The Nuke' after a cracker. Humphries took a break in the first leg, but lost that break in the sixth leg after a 121 finish from Littler. It then became 5-5, after which Littler got to start the last leg. He got a matchdart on the bullseye, but missed. Humphries then hit his first matchdart on tops.
Prior to that, Michael van Gerwen sealed the win having few problems with Johan Engstrom in the second round. Van Gerwen started the match with a 114 finish in the first leg and then doubled the lead with a 14-darter. Engstrom then got on the scoreboard in the third leg with a 16-darter. Van Gerwen then took the lead to 3-1 via double 1, before making it 4-1 with a fine 103 check-out. The three-time world champion then threw an 11-darter for a 5-1 lead. Van Gerwen then cleverly closed the match with a 112 finish. In doing so, Van Gerwen set up a clash with Jonny Clayton, who won over Chris Dobey in the second round.
Gabriel Clemens then managed to be the last player to qualify for the last sixteen of the Euro Tour tournament in Sindelfingen. The German Giant won the first five legs of the match before Ricardo Pietreczko came back to 5-2. Clemens then finished it off with a 15-darter and after Martin Schindler was defeated anchors home hopes.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
