Red-hot Humphries aiming for World Matchplay glory: "On current form I am one of the top five players in the world"

Luke Humphries heads into this year's World Matchplay as a top attraction after a season which has seen him seal five PDC titles and really emerge as one of the darting elite.

Humphries faces Nathan Aspinall in a top first round tie and believes that Blackpool could see his first major title sealed.

“I know I have got the game to beat anybody, and this year has proved that,” said Humphries to the PDC.

“I said at the World Championships that I had these new darts which I thought could take me to the next level and I’m sat here with five titles now.

“I am hoping I will go on and win more titles this year, and hopefully a big one.

“That’s the next goal for me, to win a major and put myself up there in the top echelons of darts.”

But it isn't just majors that Humphries is seeking with the World Number One spot his eventual goal.

“I think on current form I am one of the top five players in the world, but that can all change,” he added.

“I sometimes doubt myself too much. I need to start believing that I am one of the best players in the world.

“I still don’t think I’m consistently good enough at this moment in time, but in five to ten years time, I definitely believe I could be the world number one."
