Luke Humphries has qualified for the last sixteen of the 2024 Swiss Darts Trophy in Basel with a typically convincing performance. 'Cool Hand Luke' defeated Dutchman Richard Veenstra 6-2 in the second round, posting an average of 100.70.
Despite the win and the high average, Humphries was not entirely satisfied afterwards however. “I’ve been struggling for something over the last couple of weeks, but that was a good performance tonight,” reflected Humphries honestly in his post-match interview on stage with PDC Europe master of ceremonies, Philip Brzezinski.
Luke Humphries in action
Humphries will take on his rival Luke Littler in the next round, in a rematch of the World Darts Championship and Premier League Darts final from earlier this year. “I think me against Luke is the big game in darts at the moment," Humphries previews with excitement. “We both enjoy playing each other, so hopefully we can produce a classic and give the fans a great game.”
"By the way, I love it here in Switzerland," adds the world champion. "It's fun to get to new places and the crowd makes for a great atmosphere."
