The
Players Championship 26 semi-finals see two contrasting ties as we will get a repeat of the final of the World Grand Prix with the victor being the favourite to add to their title haul for the season.
That being Luke Humphries facing off against Gerwyn Price. 'Cool Hand Luke' dominated 'The Iceman' in Leicester earlier in the month to seal his maiden major title and the latter will be out for revenge.
Two fellow big names fell by the wayside in facing this duo with Gary Anderson's run of three titles in a row potentially ending. While Chris Dobey lost out to Price. Humphries in defeating Anderson also averaged 105.
While in the opposite half, a big chance awaits with Ritchie Edhouse who has seen off Andrew Gilding and Peter Wright back-to-back could reach the final, with a finalist this year in Ryan Joyce awaiting. 'Relentless' continues his good form seeing off Jose de Sousa narrowly to reach this point.
