"That wasn't me up there": Humphries laments opening display at US Darts Masters despite victory

On a dramatic evening at the US Darts Masters that saw both Michael Smith and Peter Wright dumped out, Luke Humphries held his nerve. Despite the win though, the performance left Humphries disappointed.
"It was a crazy crazy experience," reveals Humphries in a post-match interview with Online Darts. "I've been looking forward to it for such a long time and I expected myself to play a lot better."
"I can't really explain why I was pushing and pulling and searching for it. It was just one of them gamed where I couldn't find it," laments the Englishman. Nevertheless, he was a winner and successfully progressed to the next round.
"If I'm honest I thought Alex was gonna really push me and he didn't play his best there, but I'm in the next round and you know this gives me the opportunity tomorrow to put it right and play a lot better. Because I won't be making it any further if I don't play better than that if I don't play better than that."

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
